    Red

    The Klein Karoo is renowned for its luscious dessert wines, its port-style wines - Calitzdorp is the epicentre for these fortified wines - and more recently for its dry red wines made from typically Portuguese varieties like touriga nacional, tinta barocca and tempranillo. Springbok (and indeed most venison dishes) are best served with a powerful red wine. Pinot Noir, Pinotage, Shiraz or a classic Bordeaux-style blend are all good choices but the aforementioned dry reds also work well.
