Spier Seaward Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021

South African winemaking began in the 17th century, with early Dutch and French settlers planting vines and making wine for export back to their homelands. But a renaissance of the industry began just 20 years ago, when historic political reform in South Africa ended the country’s social and economic isolation. Today, South Africa is attracting educated winemakers and investment from around the world and expanding its traditional winemaking regions into promising new terrain.
