| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Pinotage--the grape achieved in the early 20th century by crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsault--is South Africa's icon grape. Its unfortunate reputation for medicinal "band-aid" aromas frequently keeps consumers from enjoying it. But new young producers are finding ways of eliminating those troublesome aromas, although its fans in South Africa often yearn for "old style" Pinotage. Most of us don't. This one shows a deep, lovely purple plum color, and reveals lots of fresh dark fruit in the aromas and flavors. Not a whiff of band-aid. Easy tannins. Foods: braised oxtails rr short ribs of beef cooked in Pinotage; cold steak salad; Derived from the Setswana word, “mohudi” meaning “harvester, ”. M'Hudi also is the heroine of an African story in which she flees her war-ravaged village crossing dangerous terrain and ultimately finding a new beginning. She is symbolic of the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams and aspirations. Former ad agency copywriter Tseliso Rangaka, owner, and his sister Lebogang, marketing, are guided by folks from Villiera, which produces amazing wines. Try also the Sauvignon Blanc, ideal for summer sipping.
