Cape Doctor
The Cape Doctor is the fresh wind from the Atlantic Ocean around Cape Town in South Africa. The wind is also known as "South-Easter" because it blows from the southeast from False Bay. It provides the necessary cooling and is mild and dry, similar to the Föhn wind. Usually, the Cape Doctor only blows across the landscape in the summer months. The fresh breeze is ideal for winegrowing in South Africa, as it keeps diseases and pests away from the plants and thus guarantees a healthy life for the vines.The Cape Doctor is the fresh wind from the Atlantic Ocean around Cape Town in South Africa.
