The air out of Cape Town is cool and salt-tinged as the van slips past Wynberg Park and the planted slopes of Kirstenbosch, Table Mountain casting a slab of shadow to the west. By midmorning the route drops into Constantia where Steenberg’s gravel avenues open onto vine rows backed by low mountains, the tasting room a quiet stage for the first pours.
