Pinotage
is a varietal that originated in South
Africa, created in 1925 as a hybrid
of Pinot Noir and what was originally
thought to be Hermitage (thus the
derived name Pinotage), but was later
discovered to be Cinsaut. The
varietal is extensively grown in South
Africa, with small amounts in California
and New Zealand. |
