ORIGINS
Winery: Southern Right
Region: Walker Bay
Walker Bay is a wine region located in the Western Cape of South Africa. It is situated in the coastal area of the Overberg district, between the towns of Hermanus and Stanford. The region is known for its cool climate and unique terroir, which produces some of the country's most acclaimed wines.
Walker Bay has a long and rich history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1800s. The first vineyards were planted by French Huguenots, who settled in the area and began producing wines from the local grapes. In the late 19th century, the region was further developed by the Dutch settlers, who brought with them their own winemaking techniques and traditions.
Today, Walker Bay is one of South Africa's most important wine regions, with over 200 wineries and vineyards. The region is renowned for its cool climate and unique terroir, which produces some of the country's most acclaimed Burgundian-styled Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.CUSTOMER RATING
