Abstract

The Polkadraai Hills in South Africa's Stellenbosch region is gaining recognition for its unique soils and talented young winemakers. Despite its previous reputation, winemakers like Bruwer Raats and Jacques Borman have seen the potential of the region and are producing high-quality wines with a focus on purity, freshness, and lower alcohol levels. The area's decomposed-granite soils and cooler climate contribute to its distinct terroir. The region is home to renowned winemakers who are committed to regenerative and sustainable practices. The text provides information about various wineries and wines in the Polkadraai Hills, including Borman and Boschkloof, Saxenburg Wine Estate, and Van Loggerenberg Wines. It also includes a list of recommended wines and details about the location, soils, grape varieties, and vintages of the region. [Extracted from the article]
