An excerpt from http://www.southafrica.info/travel/food/wine.htm
 
"Cabernet sauvignon comprises the majority of red varieties (a mere 8.36% of total
vineyard plantings) in present vineyards, followed by pinotage and shiraz.
White varieties still represent more than two-thirds of the total, but this has moved from an imbalance of 15% red and 85% white in 1990. In 2000 more than 80% of all new plantings were red, with shiraz, cabernet and merlot at the top of the list. At the same time, 87% of all vines uprooted were white, mostly chenin blanc, white French and colombard.
There is a shift from chardonnay to sauvignon blanc, a varietal which lends itself to a larger range of styles and quality levels."
 
 Note:  The South African wines Eric and I have tried have been really nice.  We especially like the Pinotage.  As you have read above, the wines are shifting to a bigger red production.  Chardonnays are probably hard to find, but Sauvignon Blanc should be easier and at a higher quality.  Good luck finding a wine!
