Northern Cape Economy
Most famous for the diamond mines around Kimberley, the Northern Cape also has a substantial agricultural area around the Orange River, including most of South Africa's sultana vineyards. Some Wine of Origin areas have been demarcated. Extensive sheep raising is the basis of the economy in the southern Karoo areas of the province. The Northern Cape wine regions located along the Orange river includes the hottest wine producing areas in South Africa. Wine production here was slow to take root, delayed to the 1960s when better irrigation and temperature control fermentation technology became available. Today the area is responsible for nearly 12% of all the wine produced in South Africa-mostly by large co-operatives for bulk wine production. The Hartswater region, located 50 miles (80 km) north of Kimberley is South Africa's northernmost wine region.
