Attn P Bulas: South Africa planting Hybrids!

In a ceremony to celebrate 225 years since the winery's founder was granted the land in 1791, Nederburg winery in Paarl have planted a new vineyard on land previously growing Cabernet Sauvignon.

And they planted Chambourcin!

They will also be planting Vidal blanc and Seyval blanc to evaluate them.

Interesting! I would guess the Vidal won't be used for Ice Wine.

Groucho - That's because it's dry Champagne.
