Behind the Bottle: Craig Hawkins, South Africa

South African wine is still largely undiscovered in the US market - most of it goes to European and African countries. But wine has been grown and produced in South Africa for thousands of years, and today there are over 3,000 farms growing wine grapes.
Like the rest of the world, the South African wine style turned modern and commercial. In famous regions like Stellenbosch, the commercial wine producers of today focus their efforts on rich reds and heavy whites like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, and Chardonnay, to appeal to the international market.
But there is a tiny movement of Natural growers, gaining momentum as they challange the established wine companies to return South African wine to its natural terroir. You can count them on one hand.
Enter Craig Hawkins.
