Learn current wine regions of South Africa including appellations, and popular wine grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, and Pinotage.
From Cape Agulhas to Central Orange, South Africa is the next great region for warm-climate wines with dusty minerality. The Western Cape's rugged granite hills are over 65 million years old, and vines struggle to dig through these soils to produce dense, mineral-driven wines. Cabernet Sauvignon may be a highlight for South Africa, but you'll discover a love for Chenin Blanc, Syrah, and Grenache too.
