The flourishing wine industry ultimately results from the first refreshment point founded by the East India Trading Company in 1652 at the Cape of Good Hope, so their fleets could replenish their provisions before carrying on with their voyage. Soon after the first settlers arrived, among them experienced winemakers from Germany, France and the Netherlands. The gentle hills provided perfect ground for excellent wine.
Thank you Thomas Rollik for another fantastic card from South Africa !!
