From Old Vines to New Voices: South Africa Today

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

Perfect for curious drinkers, terroir-minded tasters, and anyone ready to experience South Africa beyond outdated stereotypes.

South Africa’s wine story is one of depth and reinvention. In this guided tasting, we’ll explore how historic vineyards and old-vine plantings coexist with a modern movement focused on site expression, restraint, and authenticity. From coastal freshness to inland structure, we’ll examine how climate, soils, and evolving philosophy shape today’s most compelling Cape wines. Along the way, we’ll discuss the preservation of heritage vineyards, shifting regional identities, and the producers redefining what South African wine represents on the global stage. Expect contrast, context, and a clearer understanding of why the Cape is one of the most exciting wine regions working today.
