SavePlettenberg Bay is the southernmost wine of origin region in the Western Cape with vineyards and a new cellar in the Crags built on the success of the Bramon Wine Estate's additions to the South African wine catalogue. Plettenberg Bay has recently become home to a number of new wine farms. With many more on the horizon, it seems like Plett will soon be a "sparkling" wine destination for wine fundi's and connoisseurs.
