Wine from Wellington

The Wellington wine region in South Africa stands out for its diverse terroir, marked by a Mediterranean climate, alluvial and clay soils. Nestled between the Kogelberg and Boland mountains, it benefits from ample sunlight and cool breezes, crafting ripe, expressive wines. Predominantly showcasing grape varieties like Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz, the wines often exhibit vibrant stone fruit, dark berry, and subtle spice notes. Traditional winemaking techniques, including open fermentation and extended oak maturation, enhance complexity. Wellington’s rich tapestry of agriculture and history further enriches its wine narrative.
