Durbanville — a wine region north of Cape Town, on hills cooled by the breezes of Table Bay and the Atlantic Ocean — produces fresh, elegant and mineral Chardonnays. The granite and red granitoid terroir yields lighter, fruitier wines than Stellenbosch, with consistent freshness from the marine breezes.
