South Africa’s wine country is organised in three levels
>> Thursday, February 10, 2011
Much have changed in South African wine production over a few decades. Today they use a classification system called Wines of Origin (WO) based on three levels:
- regions,
- districts, and
- wards.
Districts in Coastal Region
- Swartland
- Stellenbosch
- Tygerberg
- Cape Point
- Constantia (ward)
- Tulbagh
- Paarl
- Darling
Klein Karoo region:
- Kalitzdorp
- Langeberg-Garcia
Olifant River region:
- Lutzville Valley
- Citrusdal Valley
- Citrusdal Mountain
Breede River Valley region
- Breedekof
- Worcester
- Robertson
- Swellendam
Districts that don't belong to a region: Overberg, Walker Bay, Douglas, Cape Agulhas, Plettenberg Bay
Wards that don't belong to a region: Ceres, Cederberg, Prince Albert Valley, Swartberg, Lambert's Bay, Lower Orange
However, this listing should be read with a certain caution. The WO system seems not yet quite stable and different (official) documents have different listings. Here are e.g. two sources with different details: www.wine.co.za (pdf) and www.wosa.co.za.
