At the southern tip of Africa, where two enormous oceans meet, there is Cape Town, the gateway to the South African wine lands and one of the great wine capitals of the world. It is characterised as a connection between three cultures: Africa, Europe and the East. While being a vibrant and exciting country of enormous diversities, they are mingled for more than 3 centuries, generating a coexistence of ancient and modern environment. Likewise, all of the above are easily recognised in their wines.
Influenced by the classicism of the Old World and the contemporary fruit-driven styles of the New World, straddling both these wonderful worlds, South African wines are complex and refined, yet accessible and powerful, representing the unique terroir and the society of the Cape. Similarly, the wines are big, juicy, full and very fruity. Combining the influences of history and the potential and expectation of the modern wine world, South Africa is one of the most exciting and powerful wine-producing countries of the world, proving that Cape has it all.
