The wine industry in South Africa comes a long way. As such our wines are known to be among the best in the world.
According to statistics provided by the Paris-based International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) in April 2019, South Africa ranks ninth among the biggest wine-producing countries in the world. Our production capacity as a country was 9.5 million hectolitres (10.8 in 2017).
The entrance of young wine producers adds to that value. Lata Ngoasheng was interviewed by UNISA Radio where he spoke about the growth of the LN Brand of wines. He explains how the birth of his son brought to life a passion he has carried for more than 15 years.
