Recommended wine: Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, Riesling

African on the menu? Try pairing 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 Fairview Pinotage with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 11 dollars per bottle.
