Pinotage is a terrific calling card - Steven Spurrier
“Pinotage is a terrific calling card for South Africa – it
can be what Malbec is to Argentina or Carménère to Chile. Pinotage and Chenin
Blanc are your door-openers” stated Steven Spurrier in an interview with Anton
Pretorius in the January 2019 edition of South African wine industry magazine
WineLand.
Steven Spurrier is perhaps most famous for organising the
tasting between to French and California wines in Paris in 1976 which became
known as ‘The Judgement of Paris’ and later made into the movie Bottle Shock.
He’s a respected wine expert, writer, director of The Christie’s Wine Course
and consultant editor of Decanter magazine.
Note1: At time of posting the article was not on WineLand's website.
Note2: The film Bottle Shock bears little relation to reality.
