Recommended wine: Pinotage, Riesling, Chenin Blanc

African can be paired with Pinotage, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc. The best wine for African dishes will depend on the dish, but a fruity, aromatic white wine is a safe bet for spicy dishes while pinotage would be a traditional match for South African cuisine. You could try Graham Beck Game Reserve Pinotage. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
