Ukufuna kwasekuqaleni
Inkulungwane ye-17 ibonisa ukuqala kwe icandelo lewayini in Mzantsi Afrika. Kwakungunyaka we-1655 xa iidiliya zokuqala zazityalwa ngumhlali waseDatshi. Ibhotile yokuqala yaveliswa eKapa nguJan van Riebeeck, umphathi wesikhululo saseDatshi weNkampani yaseDutch East India owafika ngo-1652 ezokumisela isikhululo sokuhlaziya - enika imveliso entsha kwizithuthi zabarhwebi bayo eKapa leGood Hope. Kutheni uvelisa iwayini? Kuyabonakala ukuba injongo yelinge lakhe yayikukugcina isikhephe kude noomatiloshe kuhambo lwabo kwiindlela zesinongo ukuya eIndiya naseMpuma. Isivuno sakhe sokuqala yayinguFebruwari 2, 1659, iminyaka esi-7 emva kokufika (1652).
USimon van de Stel walandela iRiebeeck, kwaye wakwazi ukuphucula umgangatho wezolimo kwaye wandisa inani leehektare, eqinisekisa indawo yewayini yaseConstantia. Emva kokufa kwakhe, i-winery yahamba yada yawa ngo-1778, xa yathengwa nguHendrik Cloete.
Nakule nkulungwane ye-18, iwayini zeli lo Mzantsi Afrika zazidumile kwaye iiristocrat zase Europe zazithanda ezi wayini kwaye yayiyintandokazi kaNapoleon Bonaparte. Iwayini eziswiti ezivela eConstantia zazithathwa njengeyona iphambili kwihlabathi ngenkulungwane ye-18 neye-19.
Ngenxa yomgama, ezopolitiko kunye nemicimbi yezentlalo, abalimi bayeka ukwenza iwayini, baguqula umhlaba bawenze iigadi kunye neentsimi zealfalfa ukondla ishishini leentsiba zeenciniba. Njengokuba ixesha kunye noqoqosho zitshintshile, abalimi baqala ukutyala imidiliya kwakhona, bekhetha iidiliya ezinesivuno esikhulu (okt, iConsault) kwaye phaya ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1900 ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-80 zemidiliya zaphinda zatyalwa, ngelishwa, zadala “ichibi lewayini” - abavelisi, ubungakanani ngaphezulu komgangatho, babesenza iwayini engenakuthengiswa kwaye bayigalela kwimilambo nakwimisinga yengingqi.
Ngokuqinisekileyo bekukho ukungalingani phakathi konikezelo kunye nemfuno, kudala amaxabiso oxinzelelo. Le meko ibaluleke kangaka yabangela ukuba urhulumente enze iKooperatieve Wiibouwers Vereiging Van Zuid-Afrika Bpkt (KWV) ngo 1918. Lo mbutho wanikwa umsebenzi wokumisela imigaqo-nkqubo kunye namaxabiso kuwo wonke umzi mveliso we wayini wase Mzantsi Afrika. Ukujongana ne-wine glut, i-KWV ithintele isivuno kwaye isete amaxabiso asezantsi, ikhuthaza ukuveliswa kweempawu kunye newayini eneefenitshala.
Inkulungwane yama-20 Esebenzayo
Ngeminyaka yoo-1990, ucalucalulo lwaphela kwaye iimarike ezithumela impahla kumazwe angaphandle zavulelwa iwayini zalapha eMzantsi Afrika. Abavelisi bamkele i-viticulture entsha, ubuchule bokwenza iwayini kunye netekhnoloji, egxile kwiShiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon nase Chardonnay. Ukuhlengahlengiswa kweKWV kwishishini labucala kubangele ukuveliswa nokuphuculwa komgangatho, kunyanzelwa abanini bentsimi kunye neewayini ukuba bakhuphisane kwaye kugxilwe ekwenzeni iwayini ukusuka kubuninzi ukuya kumgangatho. Ngo-2003, iipesenti ezingama-70 zeediliya ezivunyiweyo zafikelela kurhwebo lwabathengi njengewayini.
Okwangoku, i-93,021 ha yeediliya ivelisa iidiliya zewayini kwaye iyalinywa eMzantsi Afrika ngaphezulu kwendawo emalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-498 ubude. Izidiliya eziphambili zigxile eConstantia, Paarl, Stellenbosch nase Worcester. Zimalunga nama-60 izibheno kwinkqubo yeWine Origin (WO) eyaqalwa ngonyaka ka1973 nolawulo lwemimandla echongiweyo yemveliso, izithili kunye neewadi.
Iiwayini ze-WO kufuneka ziqulathe: FUNDA INQAKU ELIPHELELEYO WINES.TRAVEL.
