Recommended wine: Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, Riesling

Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling are great choices for African. 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. One wine you could try is Painted Wolf The Den Pinotage. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.
