The roots of the South African wine industry can be traced back to the exploration of the Dutch East India Company when a supply station was established in Cape Town. Cape Town was then only a stop for ships and crew to pick up fresh produce during their journey along the spice route to India.The wine industry in South Africa has grown immensely since then as winemakers experiment and plant a variety of grapes to try and find the best grapes for their unique Terroir. South Africa does not have a specialty cultivar yet, but contenders include Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
