Ward of the Western Cape ("Heaven and Earth" in Dutch) near Hermanus: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the signature wines with a restrained Burgundian profile.

Atlantic breezes cooled by the Benguela current, latitude 34°S, Bokkeveld shale soils.

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.
