Where to taste Pinotage in Franschhoek
10 estates in Franschhoek make a Pinotage that Vivino drinkers have rated. Pinotage was bred at Stellenbosch University in 1925, from Pinot Noir and Cinsaut. They're listed by the rating of the wine shown: a wine rated by thousands counts for more than one rated by a few dozen. Tasting rooms don't always pour the whole range, so ask ahead for a wine you'd like to try.
