Pinotage
Pinotage
Pinotage is a red grape that is South Africa‘s signature variety. It was bred in 1925 as a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault. It typically produces deep-red varietal wines with smoky, bramble and earthy flavours, sometimes with aromas of bananas and tropical fruit. Pinotage is often blended, and also made into fortified wine and red sparkling wine. The majority of Pinotage is grown in South Africa, but there are also plantings in Canada, the United States and New Zealand
