Pinotage is a red grape variety that is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault (also known as Hermitage) grapes. It was created in South Africa in the 1920s by Abraham Izak Perold, a professor of viticulture, with the goal of combining the best qualities of Pinot Noir and Cinsault, to create a food bodied grape varietal that is strong enough to combat the harsh conditions of South Africa.
This unique cross aimed to capture the best of both worlds: the delicate fruitiness and aromatic complexity of Pinot Noir and the sturdy structure and vibrant acidity of Cinsault. Pinotage has become a symbol of South Africa's winemaking heritage, a testament to their innovative spirit and passion for crafting exceptional wines
Pinotage is primarily grown and produced in South Africa, where it’s considered one of the country's signature grape varieties. It has gained international recognition as a unique and interesting red wine option from South Africa, and is also grown in smaller quantities in other wine regions around the world. Winemakers in countries like New Zealand, Israel, and even the United States, are experimenting with this unique variety, adapting it to their own terroir and winemaking styles. These international Pinotages offer a fascinating twist on the South African original, sometimes with a lighter touch or a different expression of fruit flavours. It's a global adventure for your taste buds!
