Alder from Vinography is wrapping up his trip, and it sounds like it was a major success. As I noted on his blog, it’s interesting that Pinotage makes a good rosé. I say that because a number of Pinotages can be very smoky–I describe it as drinking a campfire. I would be very interested to see how that characteristic would affect a rosé wine. Of course, not all Pinotages are this way, and some of them are downright excellent.
I urge you to read Alder’s articles about his trip to South Africa. He’s putting a wealth of information in there that will build your knowledge base.
