In 2023, the country produced approximately 9.3 million hectoliters of wine, reflecting a 10% decrease from the previous year due to challenges like fungal diseases impacting the harvest.  The Western Cape, encompassing regions such as Stellenbosch and Paarl, is celebrated for its Chenin Blanc and robust Pinotage wines.
