An Exploration of South African Wine with #winePW
Join us this weekend for a celebration of South African wine!
This month, the Wine Pairing Weekend crew is exploring South African wine!
Even though South Africa has a long-standing history of wine production, it is only in the last 10 years that it has started to gain global recognition.
The Mediterranean climate along the western coast of South Africa is perfect for growing grapes, and the region has become known for many unique whites and reds. From Chenin Blanc to Pinotage, and even more familiar types like Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wines of South Africa showcase rich flavor and a beautiful artistry as the industry continues to grow in popularity.
