A low cloud lifts off the Simonsberg as you roll away from Cape Town, the vehicle humming along the N1 while vineyard rows scan the valley like careful rows of script. By midmorning you’re tasting at Tokara, where southern slopes push sun into Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc, then moving higher to Delaire Graff’s terraces with views that make the Stellenbosch valley feel like a wide, living map.
