The Coastal Region of South Africa is an exquisite geographical area that is lauded worldwide for its prodigious wine production. It forms the heart of the South African wine industry, holding an enchanting mix of old and new world wine styles, forty percent of the country's vineyards, and boasts several sub-regions like the famed Stellenbosch, Paarl and Swartland.

They offer an array of robust reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot, that captivate with their intense flavours, rich hues, and powerful tannins. The whites, including the South Africa's signature grape, Chenin Blanc, and the globally loved Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, are recognised for their crisp acidity, complex fruity notes and often harmoniously woven oak nuances.

The Coastal Region's propitious landscape with its mountainous terrain and maritime climate greatly contributes to the unique qualities of its wines. The region's weather conditions, ranging from Mediterranean to more Oceanic, coupled with its diverse soil types, create a unique terroir that imparts an unmatched depth of flavour and character to the wines.
