The Wines
​
Pinotage "First Due Red"
​
Smoke Eater's First Wine to Arrive on the scene, First Due Red, is a Pinotage.
Pinotage looks and tastes like a Shiraz even though Pinotage is technically related to Pinot Noir.
Pinotage is actually a hybrid crossing of the Cinsaut and the Pinot Noir grapes.
It was first crossed by a scientist named Abraham Perold in South Africa in 1925. The Pinot Noir grape was difficult to grow in South Africa’s climate, so Perold crossed them with a species that thrived in the South African Climate; The Cinsaut (also called Hermitage).
The idea was to create a wine that grew as easily as a Cinsaut and was as delicious as Pinot Noir.
The result was grapes that were very dark in color and a wine that was bold and high in * tannin and *anthocyanin.
A good bottle of Pinotage will feature flavors of dark berries as well as a wide array of hints of other flavors including plum, cherry, bacon & hoisin with a sweet note on the finish, almost like flavored smoke, Perfect for “Smoke Eaters”
