Wine 202 Stellenbosch South Africa
Friday Night, Tom Ditzler will be pouring a dry rose from the Mulderbosch Vineyard in Stellenbosch.
Stellenbosch is a town in the Western Cape province of South Africa, situated about 30 miles east of Cape Town, along the banks of the Eerste River. It is the second oldest European settlement in the province, after Cape Town. The town became known as the City of Oaks due to the large number of oak trees that were planted by its founder, Simon van der Stel, to grace the streets and homesteads.
Today Stellenbosch is part of the greater/metro area of the city of Cape Town and is a well known wine growing region. The South African wine industry produces about 1,000,000,000 litres of wine annually. Stellenbosch is the primary location for viticulture and viticulture research. The region has a mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and cool wet winters. Stellenbosch lies at the foot of the Cape Fold mountain range, which provides soil favourable to viticulture. Grapes grown in this area are mainly used for wine production, as opposed to table grapes. The region possesses a wide range of soils in the area, from light, sandy soils to decomposed granite.
