Wine country South Africa

South Africa was long known for simple KWV wines or powerful Bordeaux cuvées from Stellenbosch. Today, it is one of the most dynamic wine-growing countries in the world. Well-trained winegrowers have achieved a great deal in the last 15 years. One turning point was the discovery of old vines, which came back into focus with the „Old Vine Project“. As they yield less, winegrowers receive higher prices - an incentive to preserve them. Old vines of Chenin Blanc, Sémillon, Cinsault and Syrah are used to produce outstanding wines that also receive top international ratings. South Africa is not new territory, but a traditional wine country with young, committed winegrowers.
