South Africa: Stone Town Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Stone Town brims with a magical jumble of life, with flavours sailing out from the cobbled alleyways to bustling bazaars selling spices and roasted coffee. Inspired by this rich, fragrant culture, our voyage for the most elegant and flavourful maritime grape varieties has transported us to the cooler regions of the Cape. While the Merlot enjoys the crisp Atlantic breeze just a few kilometres from the coast, the Cabernet Sauvignon thrives along the lush mountainous slopes.
