The sunny warmth of the Cape produces some European-style wines with a touch of New World fruit and texture. Savoury but rich Cabernet blends, stylish, opulent Chardonnays, and the fresh fruit salad flavours of top Chenin Blanc.
Wine from South Africa – Popular Varieties of Wine
South African wine has been steadily growing in popularity in the past two decades, as the variety of grapes has been increasing and international access to wine from this region has opened up thanks to the convenience of online delivery services. Rich, bold in flavour, and low in price, wine from South Africa adheres to the Old World wine making tradition yet manages to imbue the wine with the experimental qualities of the New World. After Apartheid ended, local wine producers have been fine-tuning their wares to better suit the palate of an international audience.
This has led to the introduction of oak barrels for fermentation, and a greater emphasis on aging wines. There is a wide variety of different wine from South Africa options to sample, with the most prevalent being the delicate Chenin Blanc. Other popular varieties of wine from South Africa include Shiraz, Semillon, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Due to the warm and sunny climate, the fruit grown here has a sweetness to it that makes it perfect for dessert wines, sparkling wine, and the production of fortified wine such as Port.
To sample the best of what wine from South Africa has to offer, it’s best to try a variety of different bottles. Although the sweet dessert wines are popular, as are fruity whites, bolder red grape varieties have also come into vogue recently. These samples can be ordered for home delivery online in gift hampers, allowing consumers to taste all of these varieties to learn more about South African wine.
