Love it or hate it
Kanonkop, Kadette Cape Blend, Stellenbosch, South Africa 2018. £11, Tesco, alc 14%
Kanonkop is a renowned producer of South Africa's love-it or hate-it grape, Pinotage. This blends 37% Pinotage with Bordeaux varieties, so the full-on Pinotage effect is toned down. Quaffable, with sweet, dark fruit and a hint of oak.
Serve with spicy fare
Domaine Maby, Prima Donna Rosé, Tavel, Rhône, France 2019. £11.95, The Wine Society, alc 14.5%
Tavel is a pink-only appellation and this blend of Grenache and Cinsault is Maby's top cuvée, showing structure, concentration and complexity. It's dry, but fruity, packed with watermelon, boiled cherry sweets, dried herbs and strawberry laces. One to enjoy with spicy Middle Eastern fare.
