    Calitzdorp: Port Capital of Africa

    De Krans, Boplaas, Axe Hill -- three estates in a Klein Karoo town that produces South Africa's finest port-style wines. Portuguese grape varieties (Tinta Barocca, Touriga Nacional, Souzao) thrive in the scorching terroir. Boplaas is run by the Carel Nel family, 5th generation. The muscadel dessert wine is a Klein Karoo specialty. This is SA's most unlikely wine region -- the frontier that time forgot.
