TB,
Another thought just hit me (after I pressed Send for my last reply). There
are several co-op, as in cooperations, between SA/OZ wineries. One recent
encounter was with a "Cape" wine, that was a product of the company's OZ
operation. Maybe the wine is a product of SA, but is produced by an OZ, or
part-OZ, winery.
