South Africa winemakers on quest for quality and prestige

Stellenbosch, South Africa

LOOKING out at his 50-hectare estate in a valley nestled below the Helderberg mountains, winemaker Ken Forrester beams with pride in his achievements over 20 years in the business.

"We never had a bad year, it's been a consistent grow," said Mr Forrester, who is based in Stellenbosch - the wine region just north of Cape Town.
