The stories behind what you will taste here.
Grape
Pinotage
Pinotage was bred at Stellenbosch University in 1925, and its first four seedlings were nearly lost in a garden clean-up.
Grape
Chenin Blanc
For three centuries South Africans called it Steen, until a Stellenbosch professor showed in 1963 that it was the Loire's Chenin Blanc.
Style
Cap Classique
South African bottle-fermented sparkling wine began in Stellenbosch, with Simonsig's Kaapse Vonkel in 1971.
