"text": "International Pinotage Day celebrates Pinotage, South Africa’s distinctive red wine grape, on the second Saturday in October. Pinotage is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault and typically produces dark, full-bodied wines with bold fruit and smoky notes. It is predominantly grown in South Africa, though it is also cultivated in small quantities elsewhere. Decanter describes Pinotage’s characteristic fruit, smoke, spice, and chocolate notes.\nSouth African viticulturist Dr. Abraham Izak Perold created Pinotage in 1925. The first vines were planted in 1930, and the first wines were made in 1941. The grape later gained recognition after a Pinotage won the General Smuts Trophy at the 1959 Cape Wine Show. A history of Pinotage from the grape’s creation through its early wines and growing popularity is provided here.\nThe Pinotage Association of South Africa created International Pinotage Day in 2014 to promote and celebrate the grape. Observances have included wine tastings, dinners, special events, and winery gatherings. In South Africa, the day has also been associated with the Pinotage on Tap Festival, where wineries showcase their Pinotage wines. Whether enjoyed in a tasting glass or alongside a meal, the day offers an opportunity to explore a uniquely South African contribution to winemaking.",

"how_to_observe": {
"text": "Celebrate by opening a bottle of Pinotage, attending a tasting, or comparing Pinotage wines from different producers. Pair it with barbecue, game, hearty stews, or strong-flavored cheese, and learn more about how Pinot Noir and Cinsault were crossed to create the grape. You can also look for a winery event or dinner held in honor of the day. If you drink, do so responsibly.",
