  • Summary

  • This is the third episode in our mini-series on South African wines. The goal with this series is to highlight the key regions, grapes, winemakers, and stories of the South African wine industry to distill this huge category into bite sized, educational pieces. Joining me for this episode about the Stellenbosch is our in-house South African wine expert, Aaron Meeker.

    In this episode, Aaron shares the highlights of Walker Bay in under five minutes. There is obviously much more to this area, but in the interest of keeping these episodes bite sized, we’ve distilled this down to the key info you should know. Aaron covers the climate, landscape, and styles of wine from the Walker Bay, plus names of key winemakers located here. As you’ll hear, this is a region that we feel is still very much in its infancy but has so much potential in the next decade.
