Sip South Africa: Wines of the Western Cape
South Africa’s wine scene is dynamic, driven by a mix of historic estates and cutting-edge producers pushing boundaries. The country’s wine industry began in 1659 when Dutch settlers planted vineyards near Cape Town. The industry flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries but suffered setbacks during British rule and international boycotts during apartheid. Since the end of apartheid in 1994, South Africa’s wine industry has rebounded, gaining global recognition for high-quality wines and putting the spotlight on ancient and unique terroirs, biodiversity, and widely utilized sustainable practices. Each glass tells the story of the Western Cape’s diverse landscapes and innovative winemaking spirit.
