Conservation Update
Paint drying..
Clearing alien vegetation is like watching paint dry. It is slow, expensive, you feel that you aren’t making difference..
It has been a while since the last win, where we discovered the Aristea Teretifolia.
So I decided to buy myself a pick-me-up birthday gift, a wildlife camera which emails the pictures. When you wake up to pics like these, it is a good day.
We are also providing a site for the Cape Leopard Trust survey and these are some of the pics from their camera on Lomond.
“Only” 70ha more to go of initial alien clearing, pictures like these make the effort worthwhile.
Cheers,
Geoff
Four Syrahs. One Origin.
Lomond’s four Syrah expressions offer a journey through our cool-climate terroir. From an approachable Lomond Estate Syrah to our single-vineyard focused Cat’s Tail and Conebush Syrah, and don’t forget Lomond’s signature, Syrah based, Rhône-inspired Belladonna SMV blend. Together, these wines reveal the many faces of Cape Agulhas Syrah, each shaped by place and the unmistakable influence of our cool-climate vineyards.
