Cape Dutch charm, bold reds.

Stellenbosch is South Africa's red-wine heartland — cabernet and blends with structure and sun.
What to Eat
Braai (of course), biltong, and aged cheddar.
The Playlist
Afro-jazz, clinking braai tongs, golden hour.
The Bottles
Three bottles from Stellenbosch ship inside the Monthly Escape box when this region pours.

Long table outside, everyone helping, nobody in a hurry.

Cape Dutch estates

Whitewashed gables and oak avenues. Pure postcard.

Chenin, actually

The reds get the fame. The old-vine chenin wins the table.
