The Wines of South Africa

South Africa offers a unique blend of Old World and New World wine styles.

Stellenbosch is renowned for its robust Cabernet Sauvignon and complex Bordeaux blends with blackcurrant, plum, and tobacco notes. The Western Cape is famous for Chenin Blanc, ranging from dry and zesty with green apple and pear to rich and honeyed. Pinotage, a uniquely South African grape, produces bold wines with blackberry, plum, and smoky flavours. Constantia’s Sauvignon Blanc is highly regarded, showcasing tropical fruit, green apple, and a refreshing acidity.
