What makes South African wines unique?

The distinct feature of the wines from South Africa is in the country's unique terroir that covers a range of climatic, soil and elevation categories. Such a diversity brings in a lot of versatility, producing a wide range of styles from crisp and refreshing ones such as that of Chenin Blanc to ones that are full-bodied and rich like that of Pinotage. Moreover, South Africa has archaic wine-making history spanning centuries, among other factors, cultivating the image of quality wines characteristically and delicately tasting.
