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
Sauvignon Blanc
Vergelegen's Schaapenberg block sits about 6.5 kilometres from False Bay, facing straight into the wind that keeps the wine fresh.
Theme
Organic and sustainable
Organic, biodynamic, IPW, WIETA, WWF: five labels, five different promises, and none of them is about taste.
