Breedekloof
Encompassing the upper reaches of the Breede River Valley, this district is the westernmost of the region. Primarily a producer of easy-drinking, upfront-styled table wine, wine for distillation into brandy, and dessert wines, it is gaining a reputation for Pinotage, Chardonnay and Semillon. The Slanghoek and Goudini wards, just east of the Slanghoek mountains, are enjoying success with Sauvignon Blanc and botrytized wines. Rainfall is high, and the sandy, alluvial soils do not need irrigation. |
