Try the South-African born and raise Pinotage, an hybrid grape from Pinot Noir and Cinsault. Pinotage was invented because Pinot Noir is not suitable for the South African climate. Pinotage is a bold red wine, with high tannins and low acidity. It can be both a sweet and a sour wine but always has a sweet finish. The main aromas are those of red fruits, rooibos, red pepper, licorice and sweet tobacco.
