In 1925, Abraham Izak Perold developed a grape variety by cross-pollinating Pinot Noir and Cinsaut(often called Hermitage). Today called Pinotage, this early ripening varietal produces a wine with a medium red to purple colour with aromas and flavours of plum, cherry, cassis, spice and red and black berries. Allowing this wine to age in the cellar for a short period of time it will develop some intriguing earthy, almost barnyard characteristics. Serve with medium to full flavoured foods such as meat pies, pork risotto, barbecued ribs, venison, ratatouille, red meats with light curry seasonings, rich bean soups, tuna, shark steaks, grilled burgers and prime rib. KenRidge™ Showcase features wines of extraordinary elegance and sophistication from the most celebrated and acclaimed wine-producing countries around the world.
