The earliest vines were planted in Sydney. Unfortunately due to the heat and humidity of the Farm Cove site,
the vineyard never flourished. John Macarthur on his
Camden Park property some 50 kilometres south west
of Sydney is widely credited with cultivating Australia’s
first commercial vineyard and winery early in the 1800s.
The principal varieties grown were Pinot Gris, Frontignac, Gouais, Verdelho and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Commercial vineyards for wine production were
well established in most Australian States by 1850. The
ancient Australian soils proved fertile. From the gently
undulating soils of the Hunter, the ever-changing gradients of the Eden Valley, to the maritime slopes of Geelong, the early vignerons embraced the vagaries of the
vast Australian landscape.
By 1854 the first wine export to the United Kingdom had been formally recorded – 1,384 gallons (6,291
litres). In the mid 1800s, phylloxera, decimated more
than two thirds of the vineyards in Europe and by 1875
Australia fell victim. Strict quarantine regulations, restricting the movement of vine material between Australian wine regions, enabled South Australia’s wine regions, such as the Barossa Valley, to remain Phylloxera
free. The regions today lay claim to some of the oldest
vines in the world - resolutely growing on their original
European rootstocks!
Building Momentum

Domestic consumption of wine vastly increased during
World War II. The critical shortage of beer saw the thirsty armies of both the US and Australia seeking alternative beverages. Until the 1960s, approximately 80%
of Australian made wine was sweet fortified sherry and
26
port styles, known in the UK as ‘Colonial Wine’. Contemporary tastes swung slowly away from fortified wine
as they were influenced of post-WWII migrants from
Europe. People from countries such as Italy, Greece and
Germany introduced their culture of enjoying food with
table wine in restaurants and at home.
Maurice O’Shea
– Australia’s first winemaking legend
Interestingly as early as 1925, the legendary Maurice
O’Shea had been quietly championing table wine at his
Mount Pleasant vineyard in the Hunter Valley. A master
blender, O’Shea’s finely crafted table wines were unprecedented in Australia at the time. Twenty six years later,
Penfold’s pioneering winemaker Max Schubert experimented with his first vintage of Grange – the iconic dry
red destined to become Australia’s most lauded wine.
By mid 1970, fuelled by consumers’ thirst for dry red
table wine, sales of fortified were finally eclipsed. 1980
saw domestic wine consumption per capita reach 17.3
litres, ‘bag in box’ or ‘cask’ packaging had been perfected, and the liberalisation of liquor licensing laws had
spawned a profusion of liquor outlets.
Export Success
The volume of Australian wine exports for the 1981/82
financial year was just over 8 million litres, valued at almost $14 million (Aus). Australia’s principal export market was Canada followed by New Zealand. Approximately 170 Australian wineries were using almost 500,000
tonnes of grapes for wine production from more than
60,000 hectares of vines.
Six years later export volume for the 1987/88 financial year had soared to 39 million litres with a value of
$97 million (Aus), and Sweden and the United Kingdom had usurped first and second positions as our prime
export markets.
Today, Australia has just 4% of total world wine
production but is the fourth largest exporter by volume
behind the traditional wine-producing giants of Italy,
France and Spain. In the year ended Dec 2010 Australia exported 781 million litres of wine and vine bearing
area was just below 160,000 hectares with over 2,000
producers using 1.6 million tonnes of grapes for wine
production.
Today’s Landscape
Today, Australia has an enviable restaurant culture
where internationally recognised wines can be enjoyed
with an exciting and ever changing cuisine. With more
than 60 designated wine regions, the diversity of grapes
and resulting wines is exported around the world and
showcases Australia’s established and credible offer of
quality wines at every price point.
Australian viticulturists have an enormous diversity
of soils, some more than 500 million years’ old that
affords them the luxury of planting each variety in an
environment guaranteed to see it thrive. Whether it is
free draining soil littered with ironstone, ideal for the
exacting Pinot Noir, or the famed Cabernet-loving Terra
Rossa in the Coonawarra region, the result of carefully
considered plantings is outstanding quality fruit.
Home to many world renowned research and educational facilities Australia’s next generation of winemakers and viticulturists have the sound technical skills
necessary to allow unbridled expression of their creative
spirit in an international market.

Australia’s Wine Regions
New South Wales
New South Wales was the first State in Australia to be colonised by Europeans and subsequently was the first to
grow the grapevine. The State, lying on the continent’s
east coast, boasts an incredibly diverse range of climates,
including coastal, like the Shoalhaven Coast region lying
south of Sydney, to Alpine, across the top of the Great
Dividing Range, where hardy growers persist at over
500m above sea level.
Moving west over the Great Dividing Range and
along the inland flowing Murrumbidgee and Murray Rivers are the warm-climate regions of Riverina and Perricoota and the northern portion of the Swan Hill and
Murray Darling. One of Australia’s best known and most
historic wine regions – the Hunter Valley – is located just
north of Sydney, Australia’s business and multicultural
centre.
South Australia
Straddling the centre of Australia, South Australia produces the majority of the nation’s wine. The State also
boasts some of the oldest vines in the world. The venerable old vines found in South Australia’s Barossa Valley,
McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills, through
their isolation, survived the great phylloxera plagues
that wiped out the vines of North America, Europe and
Australia’s eastern vineyards. Quarantine restrictions
were introduced that saved South Australia’s vines from
phylloxera and ensured the State retained its grape growing status.
South Australia also has a diverse range of regions
from the relatively warm temperate climate of the Barossa Valley; to the maritime precincts of McLaren Vale,
the Fleurieu Peninsula’s Currency Creek, Langhorne Creek
and Southern Fleurieu; the cooler Adelaide Hills region
and the hot climate of the Riverland region on the Murray River.
Victoria
Victoria is tucked into the south-eastern corner of the
Australian mainland. It has many diverse regions. The
warm-climate regions span the northern and western
rim of Victoria and include the Murray Darling, Swan
Hill and Rutherglen, which has carved a reputation for
unique fortified wine styles such as Muscat. These wines boast hedonistic sweet fruit flavours concentrated
through long dry autumns.
Victoria’s other wine regions are general cooler than
those of the States to the north and west. One example
is the Yarra Valley region, just half an hour’s drive from
Melbourne, which produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
wines of elegance and delicacy. From stylish and refined
Chardonnay to rich, voluptuous Shiraz; intense and complex Pinot Noir to unique and decadent fortified wines,
you’ll find a wine to suit any occasion from the diverse
regions of Victoria.
Western Australia
Western Australia is the largest State and spans the western third of the Australian continent, although the winemaking regions are almost entirely concentrated in
the south-west and great southern land divisions of the
State. Some regions are close to the Perth the State capital but most are located further south away from the
metropolitan area. The regions include Blackwood Valley,
Geographe, Great Southern, Peel, Pemberton, Manjimup,
Margaret River and Swan District.
Three decades ago, Margaret River was better known
for it’s various classic surf breaks but scientists like Dr.
John Gladstones identified it as a prime location for premium wine production. This empirical perspective has

driven the development of vineyards and wineries that
have overcome the State’s geographic isolation and carved their mark around the world. Margaret River has become known for its equally classic, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon to its unique Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc
blends. The other regions also produce a diverse range
of regionally distinct wines, from evocative Shiraz to a
range of unique Cabernet Sauvignon blends.
climates and rich volcanic soils.
As the pioneer vignerons to the Granite Belt region
suspected, being 700 to 1000 metres above sea level
does have a significant cooling effect and allows the
production of some stunning wines as the grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Viognier grow
through warm springs and summers and relatively cool
autumns.
Queensland
Tasmania
While grapes were first planted in cooler parts of the
Sunshine State more than 100 years ago, until relatively
recently, Queensland was not known as a wine grape growing area. It was considered too close to the tropics and
too hot to produce quality wines. But perceptive grape
growers and winemakers noted that in the higher altitudes of the ranges running inland, there were cooler
Tasmania is a diverse wine region, from the Pipers River
and Tamar Valley areas in the north to the Coal River,
Derwent Valley and Huon/Channel districts in the south.
It is developing a reputation, both nationally and internationally, for producing high-quality premium wine
from its pristine and natural environment.
With a cool climate that has long, sunny and dry
autumns, Tasmania has ideal growing conditions for
developing naturally elegant, intensely flavoured and
aromatic wines, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in particular.
As well as producing stunning wines, Tasmania is also a
picturesque gourmet paradise. It has the perfect climate
for producing prime cheeses, premium beef, specialty
honey, mushrooms and some of Australia’s leading boutique beers. Tasmania also features pristine wilderness
and natural attractions from bushwalking to rafting –
there is something for everyone.
Wine Styles
Australia’s grapes are among its greatest assets: after all,
who could imagine a world without classic Australian
Shiraz? Australia has a diverse range of climates, from
cool and crisp to warm and dry. This diversity ensures
there will always be a great location for each grape variety to prosper. No matter what your taste or occasion,
from white to red and sparkling to fortified, your sure to
find a delicious A+ Australian Wine.
Sparkling Wine
Sparkling Australian wine comes in all shapes and sizes
– white, red, pink, dry, sweet or rich! Most Australian
sparkling wine is produced from Chardonnay and Pinot
Noir, but an Australian speciality is Sparkling Shiraz, a
red sparkling wine produced from Shiraz grapes.
White Wine
There is an extraordinary level of diversity and quality
in all that Australian white wine has to offer. Delightfully dry Rieslings from the Clare and Eden Valleys, crisp
Chardonnay from the Margaret River and Yarra Valley

and refreshing and age-worthy Semillon from the Hunter Valley only scratches the surface. It won’t surprise
you that the winemakers who create them have a unique
approach that sets their wines apart from the rest of the
world.
Red Wine
The world’s classic premium red grape varieties are all
found in abundance in Australia. Cabernet Sauvignon has
several natural “homes” among Australia’s wine regions.
The famous Coonawarra terra rossa soils have produced
excellent Cabernet Sauvignon for more than a century,
while few regions can match Western Australia’s Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon for style.
In cooler regions, the tricky grape Pinot Noir fits in
nicely, while the versatile Shiraz expresses itself wonderfully well in all but the coolest regions. Several of the
milder climate regions are also home to that eccentric
and wonderful Australian speciality wine, sparkling red
Shiraz. Whatever you’re looking for in a red wine, Australia is making the style somewhere.
Tasting at the Wine Australia stand
The Changing Face of Australian
Chardonnay
If there is one country that has recruited more members
for the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) clubs around the
world, it is Australia. Many consumers tired of the rich,
textured, opulent (yet very popular) style of Chardonnay
that Australia was known for.
However Australian Chardonnay has changed dramatically over the last 5 years. More appropriate oak
ageing, fruit from cooler vineyard sites, better understanding of the variety have all contributed to making
our chardonnay lighter, fresher and more delicious.
Don’t believe us? Please join us on our stand to discover this change for yourself. A chance to taste this modern face of Australian Chardonnay.

Fortified and Dessert Wines
Fortified wines hold a proud place in Australian wine
history. These wines are sometimes described as “liquid sunshine”, as the grapes are generally left on the
vine much longer than usual, allowing the berries to
store more natural sugar while drying out slightly in the
warmth of Australia’s autumn days.
In typically Australian larrikin fashion, the custom
of assigning nicknames to favoured friends has been extended to dessert wines, which are affectionately known
as “stickies”. These sweet wines are a sensational accompaniment to fruit desserts and are perfect with blue or
soft cheeses.

Throughout history, wine has been a cultural force of
tremendous importance. It has functioned as a profound
religious symbol; a prized object of pleasure, celebration
and inspiration; and a simple beverage that enhances
daily meals among family and friends. And while you
don’t have to know much about wine to enjoy a bottle,
you’ll probably find that your appreciation grows as you
learn more about this fascinating subject.
California is the perfect place to learn about wine.
Since the Franciscan Monks first planted their mission
vineyards in the 1770s, wine has been an integral part
of the state’s history. Few places on earth enjoy such
diversity of soils and climates, and these infinitely varied growing conditions form many distinctive wine regions, from the southernmost San Diego border to the
northern Trinity Alps.
California winegrowing began in 1769, when Father
Junipero Serra, one of the Franciscan monks who established the 21 missions along the coast, planted vines
at Mission San Diego. In September of 1772, the grapes
were harvested and pressed, marking California’s first
vintage. In the centuries since, California has become
a beacon for immigrants who brought with them their
native cultures, cuisines and winemaking skills. Italians
and Germans made early contributions to the establishment of California’s premium wine industry; today, people from all over the world grow grapes and produce
wine in the Golden State, sharing an innovative spirit
that has made California a world leader in the wine
quality revolution.
California Wine - Geography
Golden Gate in the Golden State. Photo: California Wine Institute
Wine is grown throughout California, in 48 of the
state’s 58 counties. The state has 110 American Viticultural Areas, or AVAs. AVAs are federally recognized wi-
37
negrowing regions, defined by geographic, climatic and
historic features. AVAs as well as areas defined by political boundaries, such as county or state names, can both
be on the wine label indicating the geographic origin or
appellation of the grapes.
With its natural beauty, ideal growing conditions,
diversity of wines produced and commitment to protecting the environment, California is one of earth’s most
perfect places – not only to make wine, but to enjoy it.
California is The Golden State – and its wines are positively liquid gold.
California Wine - Climate
Growing winegrapes is both a profoundly simple and an
amazingly complex process. While grapevines require
only soil, sunlight and moisture to bear fruit, the specific characteristics of that soil, sunlight and moisture
determine how the grapes will taste and the quality and
personality of the wine that can be made from them.
With its sunny weather and scant rainfall during
the growing season, California’s climate is perfect for
winegrowing. The distinctiveness and variety of Golden State wines, however, come from incredibly diverse
topography that includes staggering mountains, gentle
foothills, fogged-in valleys, coastal plains, rushing rivers
and more. Each type of topography carries with it a set
of distinctive soil structures, sun exposures and microclimates, and often these characteristics are what define
an American Viticultural Area (AVA). Even the same winegrape variety – Zinfandel, for example – will take on
dramatically different character depending on where it’s
grown. One region, AVA, or even a single vineyard will
produce a Zinfandel that smells and tastes of briar and
raspberry jam with a dash of black pepper, while another
will yield a Zin that expresses hints of wild blackberry,
baking spice and white pepper. These two wines might
be grown very far from each other – one up in Mendocino
and one down in Paso Robles – or, depending on topography and winegrowing decisions, the two very different wines might be cultivated in adjacent vineyards.
Fog rolling in, cooling down the vineyards. Photo: California Wine Institute
One characteristic of wine regions the world over
is high diurnal temperature differentiation – or, more
simply, a good contrast between warm ripening conditions and the cooler temperatures that allow grapes to
maintain their acidity. With 1,300 miles of coastline
stretching from Mexico to the Oregon border, many of
California’s winegrowing regions are exposed to maritime fog and breezes that moderate the abundant sunshine. Rivers, lakes and deltas also have a cooling effect
that balance vines rooted in the state’s warmer interior
valleys.
Elevation and sun exposure come into play, too.
Mountain vines planted along the Coastal Range to the
west and the Sierra Nevada to the east might get snow
in winter, but during spring and summer they can be
warmer than the valley floor because they lie above the
fog line, closer to the sun. Cabernet Sauvignon can thrive
under these growing conditions.
Below, on the benchlands, morning mists blanket vineyards for grapes that can do well with more moderate
temperatures, such as Merlot. Near the ocean, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir develop bright complexity in the
chilly, foggy mornings and evenings; in the afternoon,
they ripen to full fruit expression in the warm sun.
The diversity lies in the details. Specific microclimates within California give the wines layers of complexity
and a taste of the places they come from. The state’s
winegrowing regions – small and large – have been designated American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), and many
of these designations have been based on the region’s
individual growing conditions.
California Wine – grape style
California wines are well known for their high quality, consistency and diversity. In fact, The Golden State
is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world,
En Zinfandel-ranka ska vara så här härligt knotig!

39
with more than 110 wine grape varieties grown in 110
winegrowing areas distinguished by their microclimates
and soil types. As a result, the state has become home
to a very individualistic set of winemakers – many with
international experiences – whose presence adds to and
deepens the incredible range of California wine.
Most of the wine produced in California falls into
the categories of table wines, sparkling wines and dessert wines. Table wines include red, white, and blush
and rosé wines. Many wines are varietal wines, or wines
named after the grape variety, which must makes up at
least 75 percent of the blend.
Each grape variety carries its own unique aromas
and flavors which greatly contribute to a finished wine’s
personality. This varietal character is enhanced and influenced by the climate and soil of a vineyard, and by
specific viticultural (winegrowing) and winemaking
practices. Merlot, for example, will take on a great range
of complex personalities depending on where it’s grown
and decisions made in the vineyard and winery.
America’s grape – Zinfandel (zin-fan-dell) vines were
introduced to California during the Gold Rush, around
1850, and while their origin appears to be Croatia (with
a stopover in Italy), Zinfandel is America’s grape – more
specifically, it’s California’s grape, with 52,000 acres
planted. And nowhere but California does the wine
take on such rambunctious, brambly, wild raspberry/
blackberry/boysenberry character with hints of spicy
clove and black pepper. Zinfandel comes in a range of
personalities, from light- to full-bodied, to the popular
fruity blush wine, White Zinfandel, and to the sleek, elegant red claret.
California Wine - Regions
As the wine industry in California expands, exciting new
growing regions have emerged. From rich valley floors
to steeply terraced hillsides, from windswept coastal vineyards to cool, inland fog, the state provides the kind
of topographical variety that supports many styles of
winegrowing. The U.S. Tax and Trade Bureau, or TTB,
uses geographical, climatic and historic features to define and name these diverse areas to help wine lovers
learn more about the source of the grapes in each bottle.
More than 2,800 wineries populate these diverse regions, many of which remain multi-generational family
businesses, and all dedicated to the sustainable production of high quality wines.
In the U.S. these federally recognized growing regions are called American Viticultural Areas, or AVAS.
As of January 2010, there were 110 AVAs in California,
with Cole Ranch in Mendocino County the smallest, at 150
acres, and the Central Coast the largest, at nearly 6.8 million acres. A list of the AVAs can be found online at:
http://www.wineinstitute.org/ava/default.asp.
A wine label identifies a wines geographic origin.
Appellations may be AVAs or areas defined by political boundries, such as counties or states. A wine bearing
the “California” appellation ensures consumers that one
hundred percent of the grapes were grown in California. To use a county name, at least 75 percent of the grapes must come from that county; and if an AVA is used,
at least 85 percent of the grapes must come from the defined area. California’s wine regions are found along the
entire length and breadth of the Golden State. If you’re
planning a visit to California, there’s a good chance you
will travel in or near one of these winegrowing regions.

In South Africa, viticulture originated and still mainly
takes place at a latitude of 27-34° south in an area with a
Mediterranean climate. The Western Cape is cooler than
its position might suggest, with conditions that are ideal
for growing a wide range of noble wine cultivars. The
traditional winegrowing areas along the coastal zone are
seldom more than 50 km from the ocean and experience
beneficial coastal conditions, especially cool sea breezes. The temperate climate features warm summers and
cool winters with frost rarely a problem.
Rain falls mainly between May and August, and diminishes in a northerly and northwesterly direction,
caused by the cold Benguela current along the west coast
and the prominent mountain ranges which follow the
coastline, making irrigation essential in these areas.
Temperature is probably one of the most important factors affecting the grapevine as it has an effect on almost
every aspect of its functioning. Temperatures follow an
inverse pattern to rainfall, increasing in a northerly direction and with distance from the sea.
The impressive Cape mountain ranges form a dramatic backdrop to one of the most beautiful wine-producing areas of the world. The vineyards lie on the valley
sides and mountain foothills, benefiting from the many
different mesoclimates offered by the mountainous terrain and diverse terroirs. There’s constant interaction
between the rugged peaks and multi-directional valley
slopes, and the proximity of two mighty oceans – in particular the Atlantic, chilled by the icy Benguela current
which flows northwards up the west coast of Africa from
Antarctica – moderates the summer warmth. Cooling
moisture-laden breezes blow in from the sea during
the afternoon, and seasonal fog is prevalent. Adequate
sunshine plays an important role too.
44
Soil
South Africa is widely recognised as the cradle of mankind. Still older are the soils of the Cape wine regions.
They are highly varied, mainly due to pronounced differences in topography and geology, greatly impacting
on mesoclimate and vine performance. Various weather
cycles and several periods of inundation by the sea, together with the pronounced and varied geography of
the Western Cape, gave rise to great soil diversity over
short distances.
In the coastal zone, the general pattern is sandstone
mountains, often resting on granite intrusions, surrounded by shale at lower altitudes, whereas further inland
shale parent material and river deposits usually predominate. The highly regarded reddish and yellowish
brown soils are usually associated with granitic hills, for
example the Bottelary, Malmesbury and Darling hills, and
the granitic foot slopes of the sandstone mountains, including Table Mountain, Stellenbosch Mountain, and the
Hottentots Holland, Helderberg and Simonsberg mountains.
These soils, at altitudes of 150-400 m, often on steep
slopes, are relics of a past, high rainfall, tropical era.
They are highly weathered and acid, very stable and
well drained, with a good water-holding capacity.
Other soils that formed on granite occur on gently
undulating hills between the mountains and the sea at
20-150 m altitude. This zone was invaded several times
by the sea due to land recession and uplifting. The soils
are generally duplex in character, consisting of coarse,
bleached sand and often also yellow-brown gravel or
ferricrete, on wet (gleyed) clay. Extremes in wetness and
drought in these soils curtail vigour.
The generally consistent performance of vines on
these soils over seasons, especially when coupled with
good exposure to prevailing cool sea breezes, ensures
good quality wines. The gently undulating Malmesbury shale landscapes usually surround granite plutons
(domes) and are adjacent to the sandstone on granite
mountain ranges. Here, soil types typically vary from
stony, weathered rock residual soils on hill crests, to
strongly structured soils on mid and foot slopes but with
the weathered shale substrata usually still within reach
to be exploited by vine roots. THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT SOIL TYPES
Derived from Table Mountain Sandstone. Sandy with
low nutrient and water-retention properties (Fernwood,
Longlands, Westleigh, Dundee). Derived from Granite. Usually red to yellow coloured, acidic, and found on mountain foothill slopes and on
ranges of hills, with good physical and water-retention
properties (Oakleaf, Tukulu, Hutton, Clovelly) Derived from Shale. Usually bzzzrownish, strongly structured, on partly decomposed parent rock, with
good nutrient reserves and water-retention properties
(Glenrosa, Swartland, Klapmuts, Estcou).
The winelands
The Cape winelands stretch from the rugged mountains
and multi-directional slopes of the coastal region to the
open plains of the Little Karoo where viticulture takes
place mainly in the riverine valleys. South Africa’s vineyards are mostly situated in the Western Cape near the
coast. Rainfall on the coastal side, where fynbos and
renosterveld vegetation flourish, measures up to 1 000
mm per year. Travel over the mountains into the hinterland and the rainfall decreases dramatically with the
vegetation dominated by hardy succulents, cycads and
aloes. Currently around 101 016 hectares of vines producing wine grapes are under cultivation over an area
some 800 km in length.
Under the auspices of the Wine of Origin Scheme,
production zones in the Cape winelands are divided
into officially demarcated regions, districts and wards.
There are six main regions in the geographical unit of
the Western Cape – Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast,
Coastal Region, Klein Karoo, Olifants River and Boberg (for
use in respect of fortified wines from Paarl, Franschhoek
and Tulbagh), which encompass 23 diverse districts and
46
some 68 smaller wards.
Another four geographical units exist: KwaZulu-Natal; Northern Cape (which includes the production areas
Hartswater, Douglas, Central Orange River and Rietrivier
FS); Eastern Cape and Limpopo.
A small taste of
wards and districts
CAPE AGULHAS Most of these maritime vineyards are
situated in the ward of Elim near Africa’s southernmost
point, Cape Agulhas. Strong, cooling winds are prevalent
in summer, ensuring a very cool ripening season, perfect
for Sauvignon Blanc and also promising for Semillon and
Shiraz. Generating much interest in the winelands, the
still small hectarage of this coastal district shows great
potential.
CONSTANTIA
On
the southern slopes of the Table
Mountain range and its world-renowned floral kingdom
lies the historic Constantia valley, the cradle of winemaking in the Cape. The valley was the site of Simon van
der Stel’s 17th-century wine farm and the origin of the
Constantia dessert wines which became famous throughout Europe during the 18th century. Rooted in ancient
soils, the vineyards climb up the east-facing slopes of
the Constantiaberg, where the vines benefit from the cool
sea breezes blowing in from False Bay. The ward receives about 1 000mm of rain annually, making irrigation
unnecessary, and has a mean February temperature of
20.6°C. There are only a handful of cellars in this premier ward, where the cool climate favours the production of white wines, notably Sauvignon Blanc, and where
the tradition of producing remarkable wines since 1685
continues.
FRANSCHHOEK
The district of Franschhoek, the
’gourmet capital’ of the Cape, has retained its French
Huguenot character. The Franschhoek valley lies to the
southeast of Paarl and is enclosed on three sides by towering mountains: the Groot Drakenstein and Franschhoek mountains which meet at the top of the valley and
the Klein Drakenstein and Simonsberg mountains, found
further down towards Paarl. Streams from the higher
peaks flow down to the valley floor where they converge
to form the Berg River, fast-flowing in winter when snow
caps the peaks and a mere stream in summer, fed by the
Wemmershoek Dam.
OVERBERG Newer viticultural areas have opened up
in the southerly Overberg district. The high-lying Elgin
ward, cradled in the sandstone Hottentots Holland mountains, was traditionally an apple-growing region. Now
wines showing exceptional fruit are produced here with
Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Shiraz doing
particularly well in this late-ripening cooler zone.
PAARL About 50 km from Cape Town, Paarl is situated beneath a large granite outcrop formed by three rounded domes, the prominent one named Paarl
(which means pearl) rock. This scenic town is home to
the KWV and the venue for the world-renowned Nederburg Auction. The summers are long and warm, and
rainfall enough to make irrigation advantageous only in
exceptional circumstances. A large variety of grapes are
grown in Paarl, of which Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage,
Shiraz, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc have the best potential.
The Paarl district includes the wards of Wellington, a
burgeoning wine area which is producing some promising wines; Simonsberg-Paarl, on the prime foothills of
the Simonsberg; and Voor Paardeberg.
ROBERTSON Dubbed the ’valley of vines and roses’,
the Robertson district’s lime-rich soils make the area eminently suitable for racehorse stud farming and also, of
course, winegrowing. Situated in the Breede River valley,
the river is the lifeblood of this lower rainfall region.
Although summer temperatures can be high, cooling
south-easterly winds channel moisture-laden air into
the valley.
Robertson is renowned for the quality of its wines and
while traditionally considered white wine territory and
known mainly for its Chardonnays and more recently for
the quality of its Sauvignon Blanc, it is also the source of
some of the Cape’s finest red wines, particularly Shiraz
and Cabernet Sauvignon, while the distinctive fortified
dessert wines for which it was originally famed continue
to be produced.
STELLENBOSCH
The historical town of Stellenbosch,
which features some of the finest examples of Cape
Dutch architecture, boasts a winemaking tradition
which stretches back to the end of the 17th-century.
The mountainous terrain, good rainfall, deep well-drained soils and diversity of terroirs make this a soughtafter viticultural area.
The rapidly increasing number of wine estates and
producers (in excess of 160) includes some of the most
famous names in Cape wine. The district, with its mix
of historic estates and contemporary wineries, produces
excellent examples of almost all the noble grape varieties and is known for the quality of its blended reds.
Stellenbosch, the ’town of oaks’, is also the educational and
research centre of the winelands. Stellenbosch University
is the only university in South Africa which offers a degree in viticulture and oenology, and it has many of the
country’s most successful winemakers as alumni. The
Elsenburg School of Agriculture is also near Stellenbosch,
as is the Nietvoorbij Institute of Viticulture and Oenology.
This organisation has one of the most modern experimental wineries in the world and, at its experimental
farms (situated in several winegrowing districts), important research into new varietals, clones and rootstocks is undertaken.
The intensively farmed Stellenbosch district has been
divided up into several smaller viticultural pockets including Banghoek, Bottelary, Devon Valley, Jonkershoek
Pinotage, the Grape variety of South Africa.

SWARTLAND The Swartland literally translated means
‘the black land’ and the area takes its name from the indigenous renosterbos (rhino bush) which still turns the
landscape a dark colour at certain times of the year. The
district was traditionally a source of robust, full-bodied
red wines and high quality, fortified wines. In recent times, some exciting award-winning wines have emerged,
both red and white, and the area continues to produce
top port-style wines. Increasing percentages of Pinotage,
Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are being grown here, as
well as Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. It
has two designated wards, Malmesbury and Riebeekberg.
The district of Swartland borders Piketberg to the north,
which is not dissimilar in both geography and climate.
TULBAGH Surrounded on three sides by the Groot Winterhoek, Witsenberg and Obiekwaberg mountains, the vineyards of the Tulbagh district grow alongside orchards and
fields of wheat. Soils in the valley are extremely variable.
The area is characterised by extreme differences in day
and night temperatures. Mountainous terrain creates
numerous different mesoclimates which can be used to
great advantage.
Unique to the valley’s geographical composition is
the ’cold trap’, a phenomenon which occurs as a result
of the encapsulating mountains, shaped like a horseshoe, with Tulbagh situated at the north of the ’bowl’.

the previous night lies undisturbed. With no air movement from the sides, this cold bubble is trapped under
the warming air above as the sun makes its way from
east to west. The result is relatively cool average daily
temperatures.
The town of Tulbagh boasts 32 national monuments
on one street, and here history and tradition work handin-hand with innovation. With today’s high-tech water
management and advanced viticultural practices, the
true potential of this area is starting to be realised. At
present there are some 18 wineries - several of them
relative newcomers making acclaimed wines, notably
Shiraz and Méthode cap classique – in this secluded valley.
WALKER BAY
This district, surrounding the seaside
town of Hermanus, is reputed for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines which emanate from the Hemel-en-Aarde
Valley – this encompasses the wards of Hemel-en-Aarde
Ridge, Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Sunday’s Glen and Upper
Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. The area is also being noticed
for the outstanding and consistent quality of its Pinotage. Fine examples of Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Shiraz
are also being produced here. The cool climate is the
sought-after attribute in this area where vineyards benefit from persistent cooling winds from the nearby ocean.
The soils – predominantly weathered shales – and terroir are also ideal for cool-climate loving varieties.
Both the Groenlandberg and Kogelberg reserves with
their wealth of indigenous flora and fauna lie within this
area, which also boasts some of the best land-based whale watching in the world in season (June to November).
