The following comment is totaly wrong - "A typical aroma of Pinotage is "paint box" or "nail varnish"
This is not a *typical* aroma of the variety; its true a few wines made from Pinotage had those aromas in the past but that was a result of bad winemaking, not indicative of the variety.
--- I have removed the word controversial. For a start it was illogical - how could a wine variety be controversial? On the other hand controversy might surround it, but I don't believe that it does. I suspect that the writer was trying to convey the concept that the grape variety has had a chequered history of success. The word controversial in my view does not answer.Tashkop 04:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
