Ex Africa semper aliquid novi – Always something new out of Africa
The saying "Always something new out of Africa" could not be more true than when applied to the South African wine lands. South Africa has established a pioneering partnership between the wine industry and the conservation body WWF, and now leads the the world in conserving natural biodiversity. A world first, the country’s new seal guarantees both a wine’s integrity and that the wine has been sustainably produced. More and more of our wineries are moving towards producing wine in harmony with nature, moving towards organic or biodynamic. Our new seal, a world first, certifies both a wine’s integrity and that it has been sustainabiy produced. South Africa also has more Fairtrade wines than any other country . This seminar gives you the opportunity to meet some of the vineyard owners spearheading these dynamics and to taste some of their very best wines. |
