South Africa has a rich wine history and boasts with some of the oldest viticultural soils in the world.  The interaction between the ancient soils, terroir and people that have cared for the vineyards expresses the diversity of our heritage.

South Africa has a total of 4004 hectares of vineyards 35 years and older.  (SAWIS, 2021)  It’s an interesting list, with our culture, history and landscape all built into it. In between the names and numbers, you will find very different soils and landscapes: the red sand of Skurfberg, Kasteelberg shale, sea sand at Dwarskersbos and Paardeberg granite.

If you are a wine or grape producer or a member of the media requiring more detailed information, please contact us directly at info@oldvineproject.co.za.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1556539075125{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1205″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Hectares of Old Vines per Wine of Origin District in South Africa” heading_tag=”h1″ spacer=”line_with_icon” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”3″ line_color=”#f7a70a” icon_type=”custom” icon_img=”id^4964|url^https://oldvineproject.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Tree.png|caption^null|alt^null|title^Tree|description^null” img_width=”52″ line_width=”2000″ main_heading_font_size=”desktop:20px;” sub_heading_font_size=”desktop:20px;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”10″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
