Calitzdorp

Calitzdorp

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.
