These localities (four within the district of Stellenbosch and one in Durbanville) were within a radius of 15 km and underlain by different geological formations. Two experimental plots, representing different soil forms, were identified at each locality.

  • A Brief History of Wine in South Africa Stefan K
    European Review - Fall 2014 (in press) A brief history of wine in South Africa Stefan K. Estreicher Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051, USA Vitis vinifera was first planted in South Africa by the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. The first wine farms, in which the French Huguenots participated – were land grants given by another Dutchman, Simon Van der Stel. He also established (for himself) the Constantia estate. The Constantia wine later became one of the most celebrated wines in the world. The decline of the South African wine industry in the late 1800’s was caused by the combination of natural disasters (mildew, phylloxera) and the consequences of wars and political events in Europe. Despite the reorganization imposed by the KWV cooperative, recovery was slow because of the embargo against the Apartheid regime. Since the 1990s, a large number of new wineries – often, small family operations – have been created. South African wines are now available in many markets. Some of these wines can compete with the best in the world. Stefan K. Estreicher received his PhD in Physics from the University of Zürich. He is currently Paul Whitfield Horn Professor in the Physics Department at Texas Tech University. His biography can be found at http://jupiter.phys.ttu.edu/stefanke. One of his hobbies is the history of wine. He published ‘A Brief History of Wine in Spain’ (European Review 21 (2), 209-239, 2013) and ‘Wine, from Neolithic Times to the 21st Century’ (Algora, New York, 2006). The earliest evidence of wine on the African continent comes from Abydos in Southern Egypt.

Copyright @ 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The focus of this thesis is the Wellington Wine District as a developing South African wine tourism destination. It is a newly designated wine district (March 2012) and an exploratory research study was undertaken to determine what the Brand ‘DNA’ of the Wellington Wine District is and then to propose appropriate marketing strategies for the developing wine tourism destination. The research process focussed on two types of wine tourism behaviour, namely festival-goers at the Wellington Wine Harvest Festival and the visitors to selected Wellington Wine Route members’ cellar doors. Surveys were executed by means of interviews and self-administration of structured questionnaires. Results were analysed in terms of two categories: first time visitors (FTV) and repeat visitors (RV).

  • HISTORY of WESTERN CAPE in 1652 the First European Settlement
    HISTORY OF WESTERN CAPE In 1652 the first European settlement occurred in the Cape of Good Hope. This came into occurrence as part of the supply chain from the Dutch East Indian Company. When this colonial settlement was formed, slavery was used to help the build this establishment. In the 18th Century slavery became the economic backbone of the Western Cape Province. However, in 1795 the British took over the Cape Colony and shortly afterwards slavery was stopped. This was a historical turning point in the history of the Western Cape as independence was given back to the slaves. In 1910 the Western Cape became the legislative capital of South Africa. In 1945 industrialization and development occurred at full scale in this province. This attracted many black workers from the well- know townships of Guguletu and Nyanga. Western Cape is also home to Robben Island. This is where, in 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison and helped the country become a non-racial democracy. HISTORY OF STELLENBOSCH The town was founded in 1679 by the Governor of the Cape Colony, Simon van der Stel, who named it after himself – Stellenbosch means "(van der) Stel's Bush". It is situated on the banks of the Eerste River ("First River"), so named as it was the first new river he reached and followed when he went on an expedition over the Cape Flats to explore the territory towards what is now known as Stellenbosch. The town grew so quickly that it became an independent local authority in 1682 and the seat of a magistrate with jurisdiction over 25,000 square kilometers (9,700 sq mi) in 1685.
