Pinotage
Pinotage – black wine grape, almost exclusively grown in South Africa.
Cross of Pinot Noir and Hermitage (Cinsault)
Lots of acids, firm body, strong flavours, high alcohol percentage.
Can “pinotate” in a hot climate: give off aromas of burned rubber.
Due to its strong taste very suitable to go with barbecued meat, like the African “braai”.
