Table Mountain is one of the world's most iconic landmarks: singular, enduring, and awe-inspiring to those at the foot of Africa. For centuries, it has stood as a welcoming beacon, leading the way to the Cape and its famous Winelands. More than 350 years ago, it was here that the first vineyards were planted to ripen under the summer sun and cooled by ocean breezes to concentrate grape flavors. The influence on the vineyards of the mountain, surrounded by the sea, is considerable and helps shape the Cape's unique wines. Like the mountain that inspires them, their wines are a symbol of authentic South African generosity.
