Recommended wine: Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, Riesling

African works really well with Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling. 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. The Kanonkop Pinotage with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.
