South African wines. Some think of chenin blanc, others of pinotage. There is a lot to choose from, and there will be more. This extraordinary wine country is getting more exciting by the hour as small growers and big producers alike are investing in quality and exciting wines.
Old, abandoned vineyards are being taken care of, and growers discover that the old brandy grapes – chenin blanc, cinsault, colombard – can become excellent wines with just a little effort. New styles of wines are created while the reliable Bordeaux blends remain but are sometimes blended with pinotage to become a Cape Blend instead.
On this South Africa trip, you meet passionate winemakers, drink gin & tonic on one of the country’s longest stoep (porch), and visit Stellenbosch, Swartland, Hermanus, Franschhoek, Walker Bay, Cape of Good Hope and Table Mountain. There will be many winery visits and wines to try, but you will also have plenty of time to enjoy the country.
