Breede River
This warm, dry inland region is comprised of three districts. It churns out much bulk wine, but has always had pockets of fine wine production, and these are multiplying, as in other regions, with better vineyard practices and more ambitious growers and winemakers. At its western edge, sloping down from the Slanghoek and Du Toitskloof mountains, there is plenty of rain, but moving east the rainfall declines, and almost all vineyards are irrigated. |
