About South Africa
South Africa's wine industry has undergone a renaissance since the 1990s, rediscovering heritage varieties like Chenin Blanc and Pinotage while excelling with international grapes. Stellenbosch produces world-class Bordeaux blends, while cooler regions like Hemel-en-Aarde craft elegant Pinot Noir. The Cape's diversity is extraordinary.
