Pinotage, South Africa’s unique grape, is a bold and flavorful must-try for wine enthusiasts. Born from a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault, this Stellenbosch-bred grape produces deep red wines with notes of black and purple fruits, smoke, spice, and even hints of bacon. Best enjoyed after some aging, Pinotage pairs perfectly with grilled meats, hearty vegetables, or a creamy vegetarian dish.
