First Fourteen Wine Estates Celebration - Bennie Howard & Johan Malan

In a momentous celebration of South Africa's rich winemaking heritage, the first 14 registered wine estates, representing pioneers of the country's esteemed wine industry, have come together to commemorate 50 years since the introduction of the Wine of Origin scheme in 1973. This landmark initiative established the legal protection of South African wine-producing areas along with the regulation of wines made from a specific cultivar or vintage. The W.O Scheme is internationally recognised as one of the best of its kind.
