South African Wines

 

The roots of the South African Wine industry can be traced to the explorations of the Dutch East India Company which established a supply station in what is now modern day Cape Town. The majority of South Africa's wine regions are still located in the Western Cape where the Dutch East India Company settled and created the first vineyards.


Today the focus in the South African Wines have been on increasing the quality of wine production-particularly with the more exportable and fashionable red grape varieties. Traditionally South African red wines had a reputation for being coarse in texture with rustic flavours. This reputation is no longer true and South African red wines are among the best in the world.
