Going to South Africa? Skip the safari clichés: this is wine country.
Two regions, an hour apart, making some of the most exciting wine in the world. Save this for your trip:
Stellenbosch: The heart of South African wine. Come for the celebrated Cabernet and the Bordeaux-style blends, grown on mountain slopes and poured from some of the country’s most beautiful estates.
Swartland: The rebel region. Old bush vines, minimal intervention, and a new generation of winemakers doing their own thing. Come for the acclaimed Chenin Blanc and the Rhône-style Syrah.
Same country, very different glasses, and a whole lot more than you came expecting.
