Calitzdorp is the Port Capital of South Africa. Due to international legislation, the terms port and sherry are no longer allowed to be used to describe South African products: “In the Port category many of the generic terms remain though without the Port moniker as Cape Ruby, Cape Tawny, Cape Late Bottled Vintage and Cape Vintage.” [1]
Calitzdorp is on Route 62, east of Ladismith and west of Oudtshoorn.
