There are many extremely old vineyards in South Africa that have heritage plantings of grapes that are often lost in other parts of the world. Palomino, Semillon Gris, Grenache Blanc and Clairette Blanche to name a few. There is also a strong affinity for the land leading vignerons to make 'field blends' with what the vineyard provides, resulting in sometimes unique combinations of fruit yeilding distinct and stunning wines.
