AFRICA
Between Atlantic fog at the Cape, the cold Benguela Current and high‑altitude plateaus, viticulture in Africa survives in climatically “sweet spots” beyond tropical heat. Mediterranean mesoclimates meet granite, sandstone, shale and volcanic soils; wind and water stress demand tight canopy work, drip irrigation and strict yield control. In the north, coastal corridors and Atlas foothills bring cooler nights and calcareous structure, while the south stretches the growing season with maritime airflow. Origin systems such as Wine of Origin and emerging appellations frame a new, parcel‑driven precision.
