DRINK THIS: THE PRODIGY

Long famous for its revolutionary ‘coffee-chocolate’ Pinotage, Diemersfontein wine estate outside Wellington is proving it’s a no one-trick-pony when it comes to this iconic South African cultivar, with the release of a third Pinotage in the range, THE PRODIGY. The much-loved coffee and chocolate notes of the Original Diemersfontein Pinotage make it a wine worth savouring. “The lighter fruit-driven style of The Prodigy perfectly ticks the box for everyday enjoyment,” says Francois Roode, cellarmaster and winemaker at Diemersfontein. South African staples – bobotie, bunny chow and braai – all beg for a glass of Pinotage. Its versatility makes it a great partner with roast duck, lamb casseroles and even chocolate soufflé. Serve it slightly chilled. R75 per bottle.
