South African Red Wine FAQs

  • What is the Best South African Red Wine?

    Our best-selling South African red wine is the 2023 The Chocolate Block Shiraz. This is a blend of 5 types of grapes and has been fermented and aged within French oak for almost two years. It’s an earthy, rustic variety that offers a spicy leather aroma, somewhat masked by bold blackcurrants and ripe raspberries. It is a powerful, harmonious blend that embodies the best attributes of a South African red wine.

  • What Wine is South Africa Famous for?

    South Africa is famous for an array of wines, including Shiraz, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec. Many different varieties of grapes are used that produce an impressive selection of wines that many other countries cannot match due to climatic differences.

  • What Wine is Only Made Primarily in South Africa?

    The only wine made primarily in South Africa is Pinotage. The grapes are grown on the borders and while there are small plantations in various parts of the world, South Africa is the proud primary grower. This is because the varietal thrives most in South Africa’s climate and soil.
