Elgin, for your stay
Elgin is the Cape's cool-climate pocket — a high valley tucked into the Hottentots Holland mountains, surrounded by apple orchards and pine plantations. The altitude and cold night-time temperatures make this one of the slowest-ripening regions in the country, and the wines reflect it: bright, aromatic whites, finely structured Pinot Noir, and elegant Syrah with a peppery edge. The landscape is lush and green, a stark contrast to the sun-baked valleys further inland. Many of the estates here are small and serious about their craft. Come for the Riesling and Chardonnay, but stay for the drive — the pass into Elgin is one of the most scenic in the Cape.
