Publishers Text

This wine companion briefly covers the early history of South Africa, from the arrival of the first settlers and the first vintage in 1659, and the effects of internal and external influences on South African wine. It outlines the business of wine at the Cape, controls and labelling and the different cultivars and blends, and provides more details of wines, as well as sparkling and fortified wines, brandy and liqueurs produced in this country. The author also provides information on how to plan a visit to the winelands, where to go, what there is to see and what to drink with the local dishes offered. Also included is the great tradition behind many of the houses linked to the South African wine industry.
