At the southwestern tip of South Africa lies the Western Cape – the only wine region nestled between two oceans: the Atlantic to the west and the Indian to the south. Maritime breezes cool the vineyards down during the day, helping to extend the growing season and retain acidity in the grapes. Most vineyards sit within 100 miles of the coast and have a Mediterranean-like climate.
The Western Cape is an exciting blend of old and new. It expresses the unparalleled quality that comes from old vines planted in some of the world’s oldest soils, and it reflects the young energy of a new generation of winemakers determined to make superior quality wine with the latest techniques. We're excited to offer Capensis wines, which embody the best of both old and new.
