Durbanville

Part of the recently designated Cape Town CBD, alongside Constantia, Hout Bay and Philadelphia, is Durbanville. The vineyards of Durbanville are situated mainly on rolling hill slopes and produce a wide variety of wine styles. Some of the vineyards grow at altitudes as high as 380m above sea level. Deep soils, cooling sea breezes, night-time mists and proximity to the ocean all impact viticulture in this area. Bordeaux blends, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Shiraz—all the classic Cape varieties—do well here.
