Hermitage
The term "Hermitage" is a synonym for the red grape variety Cinsault. The variety, which originated in France, has many other names, "Hermitage" is one of the best known and is used primarily in South Africa. This also explains the naming of South Africa's national grape, Pinotage, which was crossed in the 1920s by Professor Abrahm Izak Perold from Pinot Noir and Cinsault or Hermitage: The name of the new grape variety - "Perold's Hermitage x Pinot" - was abbreviated to "Pinotage".

Hermitage
In the wine world, "Hermitage" also has another, greater meaning: the vineyard on the Rhône River known by this name produces one of the most famous wines in France, Hermitage wine, with wines made from the Syrah, Marsanne and Roussanne grape varieties. Vines have been grown on this site, located about 80 kilometers from Lyon, for centuries. According to legend, the crusader Gaspard de Sterimberg settled here in the Middle Ages. He is said to have lived there as a hermit - hence the name Hermitage (French: "hermit" or "hermit") - and planted the hill. The wines whose grapes come from the Hermitage vineyard are characterized by a great ability to age, often for decades, and benefit from aging for some time in the bottle, as they usually reach drinking maturity only after a few years. The white wines are full-bodied and elegant, and the red wine, which is full of character, is also powerful and intense.
