Pinotage: South Africa’s Pride and Joy

So, two nights ago Wine Times headed to the biggest South African tasting the city has held for a long time “Taste The World: South Africa” and we thought it would be nice to investigate the range of Pinotage wines there were available.It’s no secret we here are big fans of South African whites, especially Chenin Blanc, but the much maligned Pinotage never really gets much attention from those outside of its country of origin.
We have tried a fair amount of South African wines this year, some with Western food and some with Chinese food and it must be said that the wines themselves are very versatile and are equipped to match most food styles. Recently we have paired Beaumont wines from Swartland with Chinese food namely their outstanding Pinotage with Cantonese Hot Pot and their Chenin Blanc last week with our Michelin Starred Dai Pai Dong dinner – both wines are terrific.
