Class Description: South Africa’s wines are as diverse as its landscapes. While many know Stellenbosch Cabernet and easy-drinking Chenin, the country’s story goes much deeper. From crisp Cap Classique sparklers to textured old-vine Chenin Blanc, and from elegant reds like Cinsault and Grenache to bold Pinotage, South Africa offers a spectrum of styles that blend tradition with innovation. This class will showcase the range and character of the Cape’s wines, offering a fresh perspective on one of the world’s most dynamic wine regions.
