Südafrika

Between two oceans, under the African sun: South Africa marries the freshness of the old world with the fruit of the new – producing wines of impressive diversity.

The wine world of the Cape

South African viticulture dates back to the 17th century. Around Cape Town, in regions such as Stellenbosch and Paarl, cool sea winds bring freshness and elegance. The Wine of Origin system guarantees geographic authenticity.

Pinotage and beyond

The local crossing pinotage is the country's signature grape: powerful, dark and smoky. Alongside it shine cabernet sauvignon, syrah and above all fresh whites such as chenin blanc and sauvignon blanc. Stylistically, South Africa sits between Europe and the new world.

Our South Africa recommendations

• Nadine Stellenbosch – a powerful Cape red with dark fruit.
• Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch – a smoky, fresh Cape white.
• Chardonnay Stellenbosch – a creamy Cape chardonnay with fruit and texture.

South Africa at the table

South Africa's reds are the born companions of the braai, the local barbecue: steak, lamb and spicy boerewors sausages pair perfectly. The fresh whites harmonise with fish, seafood and light cooking.

Serving it right

Serve powerful Cape reds at 16 to 18 °C, the fresh whites well chilled at 8 to 10 °C. Pinotage reveals its smoky depth most beautifully with a little air.
