About this bottle

L'Avenir Stellenbosch Pinotage is a red wine made from pinotage from the wine estate L'Avenir, with Stellenbosch in South Africa as its origin. Pinotage is the red grape most closely associated with South Africa, and L'Avenir has specialised in it. The label states 14% ABV.

The name of the estate is a promise: L'Avenir means 'the future' in French. That suits a house that was only founded in 1992. The land itself has a longer history: the first European settlers at the Cape already pointed out this place as wine-growing land at the end of the seventeenth century. Today winemaker Dirk Coetzee is at the helm of the cellar, which mainly makes pinotage and chenin blanc.

Why this works together

Chosen on the colour (red wine), the grape (pinotage), the country of origin (South Africa), the alcohol percentage (14%) and the note of toffee in the description. Red works with tannin, and tannin seeks protein. That is why red wine and meat so often turn up together.

Serve at 16 to 18 °C.

What is needed

For 4 people

Main courseBoerewors from the braai

Ingredients

800 grams boerewors
2 onions
4 corn cobs
400 grams of tomatoes
4 bread rolls

Method

Cut the onions into rings and fry them in oil for 15 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Pre-cook the corn cobs for 10 minutes in salted water.
Grill the boerewors whole for 15 to 20 minutes over moderately hot coals, turning it regularly until it is cooked through.
Roast the corn along with it for the last 10 minutes and slice the tomatoes.
Serve the sausage with the rolls, the onions, the tomato and the sweetcorn.

With the cheeseParmigiano Reggiano

Ingredients

160 grams of Parmigiano Reggiano

Method

Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.

Beforehand or with drinksRoasted walnuts

Ingredients

150 grams walnuts
1 tablespoon honey
sea salt

Method

Preheat the oven to 170 °C.
Mix the walnuts with the honey and spread them out on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Roast for 8 to 10 minutes until fragrant and lightly coloured, stirring halfway.
Sprinkle immediately with sea salt and leave to cool until crisp.
