Short summary

Pinotage is a red grape created in South Africa in 1925 by crossing Pinot Noir with Cinsaut, which South Africans then called Hermitage. Modern Pinotage ranges from fresh, red-fruited wines to structured, oak-aged bottles with dark fruit, spice, smoke, coffee, cocoa, or savory notes.

Shelf talker

Pinotage is South Africa’s signature red grape. Expect plum, blackberry, cherry, and spice, sometimes with mocha or smoky notes. Excellent with barbecue, burgers, lamb, peri-peri chicken, mushroom dishes, and grilled vegetables.

Tasting-class talking points

Pour a fruit-forward Pinotage beside an oak-aged one to show the style range.
Compare it with Pinot Noir to discuss what each parent contributed.
Serve with smoky grilled food to show why it suits a braai.
