Our wine in South Africa The establishment of a victual station at the Cape midway through the 17th century led to the planting of the first vineyard in 1655 and the making of wine from grapes grown at the Cape on 2 February 1659. As in Europe, certain areas and farms became known for wines with their own distinct character. The wines of Constantia, for instance, became famous - and even today are considered among the finest ever produced. The Cape wine growing areas, produce some of the world's most outstanding wines. All wine grape varieties cultivated in South Africa belong to the species vitis vinifera, which were originally imported from Europe. Jan van Riebeeck, the first governor of the Cape, planted a vineyard in 1655, and on February 2, 1659, the first wine was made from Cape grapes. By showcasing material held by the National Library of South Africa on the subject of wine, FRUITS OF THE VINE celebrates a proud tradition of library service.
