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. The MAN Family Wines Pinotage with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 10 dollars per bottle.
MAN Family Wines Pinotage
MAN Family Wines Pinotage
A blend of 86% Pinotage, 12% Shiraz and 2% Viognier.Packed with full red-berry flavours, touches of cinnamon and nutmeg spices, and soft tannins, this wine should pair well with most red meats or poultry.
