Upington is the principal district within the Orange River region and the focal point for wine production in the Northern Cape. Vineyards surround the town and extend along the riverbanks where irrigation canals supply water to the vines. The hot desert climate encourages rapid ripening and contributes to the region’s reputation for generous yields and ripe fruit flavours.
