I am no expert, but my understanding is that the story of wine in South Africa is really an inspirational tale of triumph over adversity. As I recall, just getting the vine cuttings to South Africa was an incredible challenge, let alone getting them established and producing the wonderful, world-class wine that comes from there today.
If our resident experts on South Africa would be willing to elaborate, I know many of us would love to learn!

Tas, African Meat, and Add to Taste, In going over some old magazines from the Wine Advocate, I have come across a listing of each South African Designation of Origin of Control, AND WINERIES ( labels ) ... and recommendations of the 2011 harvestĀ“s best wines ( harvest is in autumn ) ...
I am a Stellenbosch Red Woman ... Nice ... Some recs. in the article are:
1. kaapzicht : stellenbosch merlot wooded
2. kaapzicht: shiraz grape 100% stellenbosch wooded
3. de trafford: cabernet sauvignon stellenbosch
4. clos malverne : white sauvignon blanc stellenbosch
5. DELAIRE : chardonnay white stellenbosch
I shall do my best to write this up on FRIDAY ...
Have a lovely week,
Margi.

Thanks for the information, Hila! It looks like a good run-down of the history of wine in South Africa, and an excellent place to start.
Hope all is well -
Ron
