1 Overview Total hectares for 216 stand at 95 775 ha compared to 98 597 ha in 215. This represents a decrease of 2 822 ha. Until 26 the total surface showed an annual increase; since then a steady decrease totaling 6 371 ha. Varieties remained relatively constant (Table 1). Chenin blanc and Colombar remain overall the most planted white varieties, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz as the most planted red varieties. For the period 26 216 the vineyard area as a percentage of the total area increased in Robertson, Breedekloof, Worcester & Cape South Coast regions, while decreasing in the Paarl, Swartland and Stellenbosch regions (Table 2). Over the past 1 years there was no significant change in the hectare percentage white and red wine grapes in the various regions (Figure 4). The largest net negative change in red wine varieties occurred in the Stellenbosch, Paarl & Swartland regions. Regarding individual wine grape varieties, Chenin blanc represented 18.7% of the total wine surface in 26, Colombar 11.4%, Cabernet Sauvignon 13.1%, Pinotage 6.2%, Chardonnay 8.%, Shiraz 9.6%, Sauvignon blanc 8.2%, Merlot 6.7% followed by the varieties detailed in Table 4. In 216 Chenin blanc decreased to 18.5%. Sauvignon blanc, Pinotage and Shiraz increased over this period, as well as lesser planted varieties such as Pinot Noir, Nouvelle, Viognier, Petit Verdot, Mourvedre, Pinot Gris, Grenache (Red) and Villard blanc. As mentioned before a great concern is that since 25 the industry has not been able to replace an annual 5%, about 5 ha, of existing vineyards. A life span of 2 years serves as guideline, but according to role players this is especially with regard to red varieties not attainable and a life span of 15 years is considered to be more realistic. Figure 8 and Table 5 gives an overview of the situation. Notwithstanding this concern, the industry is able to produce large to record crops through improved and adjusted viticultural practices. Ramsey is the only rootstock showing an upward planting trend in most regions, especially in Breedekloof, Olifants River, Robertson and Worcester regions.
