This is an elegant, slightly restrained Pinotage that maintains the local character but offers a more palatable choice for everyday drinking. Pepper, rich berry and spice are balanced by a quiet acidity and long, rich finish. Pair with Moroccan or Indian cuisine.

Cloves, pipe tobacco and a touch of pepper start this layered Pinotage from Stormhoek. The wine offers layers of cedar, tobacco, red berry and spice, and medium tannins and a smooth, balanced body seal the deal. An elegant Pinotage with exciting flavors.

Light, clean and uncomplicated, the way most people like their Pinot Grigio’s, this wine still has depth. It offers great acidity and lift as well as easy-to-savor tropical fruit and citrus flavors. Despite its popularity in the U.S., Pinot Grigio is a rare find in South Africa, and winemaker Graham Knox is getting it right.

Bright, tropical fruit flavors mingled with a fresh, lively, cut grass character typify this playful wine from the hills of South Africa’s Wellington region. Good acidity and lift ensure this is a refreshing wine for warm weather repasts.

The great Pinotage debate in South Africa continues: How do you appeal to the American palate with a variety that has an eccentric, spicy and rustic edge? Stormhoek may have found the answer with this soft and friendly version, which has managed to extract the best of the variety without stripping it of its unique character. Bright and juicy with a soft, integrated spice mélange, the wine offers plum and smoke too, making it an excellent choice for grilled ribs or steak.
