In honor of the start of Women's History Month, we will spend the next four weeks exploring some of the best woman-led projects that are making waves in the international winemaking community. Each week we will hone in on a different country, showcasing some of our favorite winemaking regions and the producers who are shaping the way that wine lovers and industry professionals appreciate their unique styles.
Join us this weekend as we take you on a journey to one of the most rapidly up-and-coming wine regions in the world: South Africa!
Although South Africa is widely referred to as a "new world" wine region, its winemaking history dates back to the 1600s, making it one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the Southern Hemisphere. The knowledge and techniques passed down through generations of winemakers have helped shape the country's modern wine industry, combining centuries-old traditions with cutting-edge innovation.
This week, we're celebrating one of the world's most iconic and versatile grape varietals: Pinot Noir!
Though the exact origins of this humble grape remain a mystery, it's believed that Pinot Noir has been cultivated across the globe since the 1st century AD. It was the Cistercian monks of France during the Medieval period who first brought this grape into the spotlight, laying the foundation for modern European winemaking. From there, Pinot Noir spread across the globe, becoming one of the most coveted varietals in both France and the United States.

As the climate in traditional winegrowing areas shifts, Washington's burgeoning wine industry is emerging as a beacon of possibility.
