363 Years of South African Wine
the wine industry celebrates another year.
On February 2, 2022, the South African wine industry proudly turned 363 years old. It is the only country in the world where the exact origin date of its wine industry can be determined.
South African Wines Western Cape, South Africa (February 02, 2022) – Raise a glass and celebrate 363 years of South African wine heritage!
This significant day marks the beginning of our wine industry and calls on all with a passion for South African wine to come together and participate in the celebrations, wherever they are in the world. Today, South African wines enjoy a high reputation worldwide.
South Africa is the only country in the world that can precisely pinpoint the origin date of its wine industry, thanks to Jan van Riebeeck's diary entry from February 2, 1659, which read: «Today, thank God, wine was made for the first time from the Cape grapes.»
«This occasion has become a significant and truly memorable day for both wine connoisseurs and winemakers. It honors the birth of the wine industry in South Africa, asks for blessings for the new harvest, and pays tribute to the pioneers of the industry.»
Jean Naudé, CEO of Groot Constantia
