Pinotage Wines

Pinotage is a full-bodied red wine varietal created by a scientist from a cross of Cinsault and Pinot Noir. These very dark grapes are the most planted red varietal in South Africa. These wines tend to have dense color, bold tannins, high alcohol and robust flavors of blackberry and black cherry with notes of burning rubber. When aged in oak the wines also reveal smoke and spice.
