With a strong influence from the cool Atlantic sea-breeze and its own maritime microclimate, Bot River wine producers consistently create award-winning wines from their Bokkeveld shale and Table Mountain sandstone derived soils. Handcrafted, world-class wines are produced by wineries ranging from traditional, old-school, boutique-styled, family-owned wine farms to high-tech, modern, mechanised, state-of-the-art facilities but they all show the depth of class and quality that this region is becoming famous for.
