原产地葡萄酒计划葡萄品种的角色

南非的所有葡萄品种都属于Vitis vinifera葡萄品种，源自欧洲。虽然今天大多数葡萄都是从当初引进的品种繁殖，但亦有杂交变种的独特南非品种，其中最著名的是由黑比诺（Pinot Noir）和神索（Cinsaut）杂交而成的红葡萄品乐塔吉（Pinotage）。

现在大约有82个品种获准用于制造原产地葡萄酒。每个品种应其不同的生长气候及土壤，表现不同的性格，从而酿造出风格及品质特色不同的葡萄酒。所以，品种、产地和葡萄酒本身三者之间关系密切。

原产地葡萄酒可于标签上注明葡萄品种，但品种一定是计划应可的。一款葡萄酒必须有至少85%以上的成分来自某个葡萄品种，方可使用该葡萄品种的名称。
