South Africa has lost 41% of its primary grape producers since 2009. Old-vine growers are struggling to make a living, vines are making way for strawberry tunnels, and the economics of grape growing are broken. What happens next? @malulambert investigates: winemag.co.za/wine/opinion/m…

South Africa once had more than 13,000ha of Palomino. Today, just 91.4ha remain. Now a handful of winemakers are rediscovering what this near-forgotten grape can do - from ancient vineyards in the Klein Karoo and Swartland to a new South African crossing called… colomino. @MaluLambert reports: winemag.co.za/wine/opinion/m…

South Africa is ripping out more vineyards than it's planting. Yet experts say this could be the country's most exciting era for viticulture. Fewer vines. Smarter vineyards. Better wine? @MaluLambert investigates: winemag.co.za/wine/opinion/m…
