The nights are drawing in, the leaves are falling from the vines and the vines are slowing down.The post harvest fertilisation is complete and the farm team is hard at work on all of the maintenance on the farm.
The cover crops have been sown, their purpose being to feed the soil, suppress weeds and to prevent erosion.
Soon the vines will become dormant and then we will allow them to rest until pruning starts towards towards the end of June.
Some hard decisions have been made, we are removing a section of vines which are no longer producing quality fruit. However, the renewal of the vineyards continues and we are preparing a field for new plantings of Mourvèdre, a key component of our award winning Belladonna SMV.
In the cellar, we have completed the exciting process of matching wine with the appropriate barrels. This is an integral process to ensure, that in 18 months time, we have all the building blocks to create the best possible wines for you to enjoy. Well, to be more precise, we will bottle in 18 months and then release 12 months thereafter, a patient game is winemaking…..
The guided fynbos walks and e-bike rides which Jacques, a qualified guide, is offering is proving to be an extremely popular activity on the farm.
We look forward to hosting you on the farm and extending you hospitality in our refurbished tasting room.
