It is always a treat to discover a wine that surprises and intrigues you. The ‘Meerendal’ Durbanville Pinotage (2004) from South Africa did just that. 
The Estate was founded in 1702. This red wine displays tobacco, chocolate and wood flavors. Because of its character I recommend it as a good food wine. It worked well with barbecue chicken and Roomkaas Gouda cheese.
