Nedbank Cup showdown: 'Godfather' Barker's soaring Stellenbosch cause for wary Sundowns

Stellenbosch is renowned for cultivating some of South Africa's finest grapes, which are then transformed into exquisite wines through meticulous processing.

The Cape Winelands also boast a rich rugby culture, nurturing talented players who go on to represent top clubs both locally and internationally, with aspirations to eventually wear the prestigious Springbok jersey if fortune smiles upon them.
