Agriportal.co.za reports the 2017 harvest was 1.4% bigger than the previous year, with healthy grapes, intense flavours and good colours being reported.
This is despite the Western Cape, still being in the midst of a devastating drought, which threatens the viability of the entire agricultural sector.
Wine is one of SA’s largest agricultural exports, with the country’s nearly 100,000 hectares of vineyards, mostly situated in the Western Cape near the coast, producing about 4% of the world's wine.
