Top 3 white cultivars in South Africa - 2020

 

It is not suprising that Chenin Blanc is the number 1 white grape grown in South Africa by volume. A real versatile grape. The intense competition to produce the best Chenins, ensure that the overall quality is improved year on year. Think Ken Forrester Wines FMC, or Raats Family Wines Eden High Density

I would have expected the Walker bay region to have higher volume though. The Hermanus area is perfect for cool climate whites.
