Pinotage
Pinotage is a red grape variety indigenous to South Africa. It was created in 1925 from Pinot Noir and Cinsault (also known as Hermitage), but it does not have much in common with its ancestors. These bold wines can be made in different styles, but they are typically dark-red with flavors of purple or red fruits, while aged varieties may have bold tannins, and strong, earthy aromas of tobacco, bacon, and rooibos.
Full-bodied Pinotage pairs well with dark meat, game, charcuterie, and aged cheese.
