You step off the van into a valley of low-slung vineyards and mountains that push the sky aside. Sunlight stripes the rows of vines and the air smells faintly of fermenting grape skins and distant fynbos; the day ahead is a sequence of cellar doors, unexpected pairings and the slow geometry of tasting rooms that open like stages.
