Boberg

Boberg isn't a traditional wine region with districts or wards. Instead, it's a designation of origin used specifically for fortified wines produced in three established regions: Franschhoek, Paarl, and Tulbagh (all part of the Coastal Region).

Unlike most South African regions known for dry wines, Boberg focuses on fortified wines similar to Port. These are sweet, often red wines, with a higher alcohol content achieved through fortification (adding brandy). Common grapes used include Chenin Blanc, Muscat d'Alexandrie, and Palomino.

Boberg, part of South Africa's Western Cape, is renowned for its Chenin Blanc wines. Chenin Blanc, often referred to as "Steen" in South Africa, thrives in Boberg's warm climate, producing versatile wines ranging from dry to sweet.
