South Africa

South Africa's wine industry stands proudly amidst the world's most coveted wine-producing regions. The country's unique geographical location, nestled at the southernmost tip of the continent, blesses it with a Mediterranean climate perfect for viticulture. With a wine history stretching back over 350 years, South African winemakers have beautifully blended traditional techniques with modern practices to craft wines of impeccable quality.

South Africa’s wine country offers a stunning range of wine styles, from robust reds to crisp whites and delightful rosés. The region is particularly celebrated for its Pinotage, a homegrown grape variety resulting from a blend of Pinot Noir and Cinsault. The range of Pinotage wines is truly remarkable, as it entails everything from full-bodied, spicy reds, to light and fruit-forward rosés.

Cape Town, the heartbeat of South Africa's wine industry, is home to a plethora of prestigious vineyards and cellars. Stellenbosch, a picturesque town nestled among majestic mountains, is amongst the country's most illustrious wine routes, renowned for its world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Other prominent areas include Franschhoek, Swartland and Hemel-en-Aarde.

South African winemakers are devoted to sustainable cultivation and have embraced Fairtrade practices, reflecting both their respect for the land and their commitment to the prosperity of their local communities. Across South Africa, you will find biodynamic vineyards, committed to crafting ecological and naturally produced wines.

Apart from the wines, the dramatic landscapes, and Mediterranean climate combine to deliver a scintillating wine tourism experience. The combination of dramatic mountain backdrops, flourishing vineyards and charming, historic wine estates, provide an experience that's as visually impressive as it is palate pleasing.

Today, South African wine impressively straddles the line between New World innovation and Old World finesse. It is a region that continues to grow in reputation, producing wines that are increasingly recognised for their quality and distinctive taste in the international arena.
