Wine-growing area (district) that belongs to the Klein Karoo region in South Africa. It is named after the town of the same name. The hot, dry climate is particularly suitable for port-style wines. These are produced from the Tinta Barroca and Touriga Nacional varieties. Well-known wineries are Boplaas Estate and Calitzdorp Winery.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
