What is Pinotage?
At Wine 210, we love introducing wines that tell a story—and HER Pinotage is one of those bottles that instantly sparks conversation.
This South African red is bold, smooth, and unapologetically expressive, making it the perfect wine for a night out with friends, a cozy date night, or simply when you’re in the mood for something different from the usual Cabernet or Merlot.
Let’s talk about why HER Pinotage deserves a spot in your glass.
What Is Pinotage?
Pinotage is a signature grape from South Africa, created by crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsaut grapes. The result is a wine that brings together the elegance of Pinot Noir with the bold fruit and structure of a richer red.
Pinotage wines are known for their:
Deep ruby color
Rich berry flavors
Smooth finish
Slight smoky or earthy notes
It’s a wine that feels both refined and a little rebellious, which is exactly why wine lovers around the world have fallen for it.
The Flavor Profile of HER Pinotage
HER Pinotage is beautifully balanced and incredibly drinkable.
When you take your first sip, you’ll likely notice:
🍒 Dark cherries and ripe plum
🍓 Hints of raspberry and red berries
🌿 Subtle spice and earthy undertones
🍷 A smooth, lingering finish
It’s bold enough to satisfy red wine lovers but soft enough for someone exploring reds for the first time.
What Food Pairs Well With HER Pinotage?
One of the best things about Pinotage is how food-friendly it is. At Wine 210, we love pairing it with some of our favorite small bites.
