{"product_id":"south-africa-western-cape-fryer-s-cove-vineyard","title":"Fryer's Cove Vineyard","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou eat and drink at Fryer's Cove in a repurposed crayfish factory on the West Coast, with the Atlantic five hundred and forty meters away. The vineyards are the closest to the ocean in South Africa, in the smallest official wine ward. The cellar pumps seawater through its cooling system, a method that began when the building was a fish factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines grow in limestone soil with sea mist depositing salt on the leaves, which the winemakers say affects the flavor. The restaurant serves with a view of the jetty where the seawater is drawn. The building's history as a factory is part of the visit — the tanks are where fish were once processed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winery was planted in 1999 by a local farming family who irrigated the vines with water piped thirty kilometers. The restaurant is in the old factory where crayfish were packed until the 1970s. The road to Doringbaai is gravel; the village is quiet, with fishing and tourism its main industries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51933866098908,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/fryers-cove-vineyard-restaurant-quality-st-doringbaai-south-africa-01.webp?v=1783242522","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/south-africa-western-cape-fryer-s-cove-vineyard","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
