You leave Cape Town before breakfast and the city slips behind you as the road climbs into folded mountains and vineyards. Morning light paints rows of vines while the air carries a faint scent of earth and fermenting grape, and by mid-morning you’re wandering a cellar where oak barrels hum with years of harvest.
