Episode Four: Pinotage

We look at Pinotage. The grape was developed in South Africa in the 1920s, and came to prominence as the face of South Africa wine after apartheid ended. But it's had a mixed reputation. We talk about its idiosyncratic character and how today's winemakers are making top wines from this much-maligned grape.
