Varietal: Pinotage
Pinotage is a red wine grape varietal which is most commonly associated with the wine industry of South Africa, although it has also been successfully cultivated in several other countries, most notably the United States and New Zealand. It was first grown in 1925, when it was created by a professor of viticulture, and came about as a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut grapes. The Pinotage grape is a versatile one, and has been used to make a range of still red wines, alongside sparkling wines and fortified varieties. It is adored for its characteristically smoky flavors, and the notes of dark berries, plums and earthy touches often found in the wines it is made from. Pinotage has naturally high tannins and acidity levels, making it a popular grape for blending and aging.
Country: South Africa
As geographically diverse country, with everything from lush green valleys to areas of arid desert, mountainsides and river estuaries, South Africa unsurprisingly produces a huge range of excellent wines. Regions such as the Breede River Valley consistently impress with their Semillon wines and the lush, fruity Ruby Cabernets grown and processed here, and the cooler region of Overberg is attracting much attention as a result of their silky Pinot Noir bottles. However, all over the oceanic tip of this fascinating country, traditional methods dating back over three hundred years are combining with modern technologies to produce some of the finest examples of New World wines to be found anywhere on the globe.
