The stories behind what you will taste here.
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.
Grape
Pinotage
Pinotage was bred at Stellenbosch University in 1925, and its first four seedlings were nearly lost in a garden clean-up.
Style
Cap Classique
South African bottle-fermented sparkling wine began in Stellenbosch, with Simonsig's Kaapse Vonkel in 1971.
