South Africa

Since the end of apartheid, South African viticulture has risen from its ashes and has established itself on the world market as a country producing quality wine that is constantly progressing. Most of the vineyards are located in the southwestern part of the country, within the Cape Province. The diverse landscapes of mountains, hills, plateaus and valleys offer the possibility of producing a wide range of different wines.

 

In the past, white grape varieties dominated the vineyards but the strong growth of red grape varieties has rebalanced wine production.

 

In the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widespread and is usually blended with Merlot. In South Africa, Syrah gives rich, full-bodied, powerful red wines with black fruit aromas. There is also a production of Syrah wines of better quality, more balanced and peppery. Pinotage, a cross between pinot noir and cinsaut, is considered the national grape variety. In monocepage, it has well marked red fruits. The best vines produce full-bodied wines with flavours of spices and wild berries, with complex wild notes. Together with international grape varieties, it produces wines with "cape blend" labels.
