Origin

Western Cape

About the Area

South Africa's vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast. This is the southernmost region of the African continent, and has a Mediterranean-type climate and diverse soils perfectly suited to quality grape production.

Vintage Conditions

January in the Western Cape heralds the beginning of summer and, as the temperatures increase, early ripening grape varieties are ready for picking. The bulk of the harvest takes place in February and March and the sugar/acid ratio of the grapes is checked daily so that each variety is harvested at optimum ripeness.
