Welcome Note

Up in Elgin

Tuesday, December 7, 2010


Well this wind may be driving you mad if you are in Cape Town and sure, it does make sundowners on the beach, or any other outdoor activity that doesn’t involve a sail unbearable, but it helps keep the temperatures in the vineyard down, which is a good thing.
Thankfully the vines are finished flowering as wind then leads to poor fruit set and reduced crops.
The vineyards are now at what is called ‘pea size’ stage for obvious reasons…

This is actually a photo of one of our Cabernet vines, the berries will darken and soften later in the season.
