South African Wine

Discover the unique flavours and high quality of South African wine where each bottle reflects the region's vibrant history and commitment to excellence.

In the past twenty years, the South African wine industry has truly flourished. With a focus on quality over quantity, innovation, and meeting the growing international demand for South African wine, the industry has seen remarkable growth. Chenin Blanc remains the king of white wines, while South African reds have experienced a renaissance. Improved quality of local hero Pinotage and the increased use of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc in red blends have all contributed to this revival.

The Western Cape province's diverse wine regions offer ideal conditions for cultivating a wide range of grape varieties. The granite terroir, known for its low acidity, plays a significant role in creating the rounder, fuller style of South African reds that have become so popular. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir also thrive in these vineyards, adding to the rich tapestry of South African wines.

South African vineyards, particularly in the Western Cape province, produce truly fine wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the region's terroir. Each bottle embodies the dedication to excellence that defines South African wine production.
