Recommended wine: Pinotage, Riesling, Chenin Blanc

Pinotage, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc 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. You could try Painted Wolf The Den Pinotage. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
Painted Wolf The Den Pinotage
Painted Wolf The Den Pinotage
An intense fruit packed wine with flavors of red and black summer berries, savory spice and toasty wood flavors. The wine has fine bright tannins. It has a long fresh finish.Pinotage is the best possible red wine in the world for to pair with Mexican dishes such as Fajitas and Mole. It is also great with Cabrillo. The wine likes cumin seeds, and smoky ancho chili flavors. It is also very good other flavorsome American regional specialties such as with Carolina pulled pork and smoky Texas B.B.Q. beef rib.
