The wine region of Central Orange River
South Africa's northernmost Cape region along the Orange River, hot and dry semi-desert climate, irrigated vineyards on alluvial soils.

Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc as fresh complements. Pinotage signature king red with blackberry, plum and a smoky note.
The wine region of Northern Cape
South Africa's most northerly wine region along the Orange River (650 km north of Cape Town, edge of the Kalahari), hot semi-desert climate, river irrigation. Chenin Blanc and Colombard signature whites: full and crisp with citrus, tropical fruits, yellow apple and honey hints, acidity preserved by cool nights. Hanepoot (Muscat) in floral sweet styles. Shiraz, Pinotage and Cabernet in sun-drenched reds.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
