The wine region of Cape South Coast

Beacon of South African cool-climate wines on the Western Cape's southern coast (Cape Agulhas, Elgin, Overberg, Walker Bay), fresh oceanic climate. Signature Pinot Noir: elegant and silky with red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and floral hints, fine tannins — South Africa's benchmark. Tense Chardonnay (dominant white), herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and lively Chenin Blanc in mineral whites. Spiced Shiraz in reds.

The wine region of Western Cape

Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.
