Cape Town
Cape Town is not only one of the world’s leading tourism brands, but is also a district for South African viticulture. Together with the districts of Darling, Franschhoek, Paarl, Stellenbosch, Swartland, Tulbagh and Wellington, the area is part of the Coastal Region wine region. The district stretches from Cape Point to Philadelphia (36 km away).
The Cape Town wine region looks back on a long history. The historic Constantia Valley lies on the southern slopes of the Table Mountains and is the origin of Cape wine production. The first vines were planted on the farm of Simon van der Stel. In the 18th century, the dessert wines from this region became famous throughout Europe.
Cape Town benefits from the cool sea breeze from False Bay, as the area receives around 1000 mm of rain per year. This means that no irrigation is necessary. The temperature differences between day and night give the wines a very striking aroma. Excellent white and sweet wines have been produced since 1685.
