South African Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews
Written By: Brian Freedman on Monday, July 31, 2006 For years, the wine industry of South Africa languished because the international community had ostracized the country due to its policy of Apartheid. Once Apartheid ended, however, the world wine markets seemed to become flooded with South African Cabernet Sauvignons, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. Since then, South Africa has become one of the more promising locations for the production of Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and even Riesling, among many others. And despite the high quality of much of the wine coming out of South Africa these days, there are still some excellent bargains to be found.
