I thought I knew Pinotage.

Not in the encyclopedic, swirl-sniff-score way, but in the proudly South African, “I’ve brought a bottle to almost every braai since I came to the Winelands” sort of way. It was a varietal I’d always championed: a little rough, a little misunderstood, but undeniably ours. To me, Pinotage was Lanzerac, first to bottle it. It was Beyerskloof, loud, generous, deeply red. That was the story. Simple. Neatly packaged.
