| Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault that was created in South Africa in 1925. Despite the name, no actual coffee beans are used to create the intense coffee aromas and flavours found in this wine. The coffee tones are instead imparted by the reaction between the Pinotage and the toasted French oak barrels used in the winemaking. This wine will be a smooth choice for grilled steak or smoked cheeses. |
