South African Wines
South African wine is having a golden era. From the historic Cape Winelands around Stellenbosch and Franschhoek to the rugged, windswept coastline of the Swartland, South Africa produces wines of extraordinary diversity and quality. Chenin Blanc, known locally as Steen, is the country's most planted white grape and produces everything from fresh, everyday drinking to complex, age-worthy expressions of real distinction. Bold Pinotage, South Africa's very own grape variety, delivers smoky, rich reds unlike anything else in the world. Elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and cool-climate Syrah round out a country that belongs in every serious wine lover's collection.
