Culemborg Pinotage 2002 Western Cape, South Africa, Case of 12 Pinotage is a cross between Burgundy's Pinot Noir and Cinsaut - a Rhône variety, and is unique to South Africa. For once the grape is not oaked, so its distinctive character shines through - soft and round, with a spectrum of fruit flavours, from cherry to banana. The ripe soft fruitiness is a perfect foil for tangy garlic roulade. Red wine Waitrose Wine Red Wine Red Wine
