South African wines are increasingly winning high praise and recognition for their quality on the international stage. The richly textured soul of our wines is imbued by the natural gifts of the South-western Cape, where nature marries the key elements of soil and climate to provide a rich bounty for the vine. Long hot summers, tempered by cool ocean breezes, and cold, wet winters nurture the growing of the finest grapes. Imperious mountain ranges channel the cooling winds along their slopes and into the lush, green, river-cut valleys of what is widely acclaimed to be one of the worlds most spectacular wine growing areas. What has for a long time been one of the wine world’s best-kept secrets, boasts a tradition in wine that dates back over three hundred years, to a time when European settlers brought their craft to Africa. Today, this tradition combines with state of the art technology and techniques to create wines that have elevated South Africa to its rightful place among the world’s leading winemaking countries
