The Cape South Coast wine region, located southeast of Cape Town, stands as the coolest region overall in South Africa, defined by its maritime climate. Influenced by the cold Atlantic winds and the warmer Indian Ocean, the area produces wines that are a result of this unique climate. The district of Cape Agulhas benefits from strong, cooling Atlantic winds and is located near the southern most point of Africa, and known for its Sauvignon Blanc. Elgin, only an hour east of Cape Town, and characterized by a cooler climate and mountainous terrain, produces Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. Lastly, Walker Bay is centered around the town of Hermanus and is home to the wards of Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, with a focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.
