Back home in Stellenbosch, we hosted and spent the day with the AdVini Asia team.
In the vineyard
Despite drought conditions for the third consecutive year, the vineyards are in good condition. There still is moisture in the soil, but we have precious little water and still another 40 days at least to harvest! On hot and especially windy summer days the vineyard protects itself, shutting the leaves by folding closed and in half along the petiole sinus and turning their backs to the sun to stop photosynthesis.
At home
In our never-ending quest to engage all senses, a glass of Sparklehorse vintage MCC (100% Chenin Blanc) is beautifully served with delectable, artisan chocolates.
Is there any better way to spend time in the tranquil setting, under the oak trees? Ah decadence ...
Whilst you are visiting our vineyard, please do have a look at the hand-crafted, small batch bath soaps with alluring wine fragrances.
Just in time for the holidays our annual single barrel of Mourvèdre. The Barrel is bottled by hand, direct from the barrel with no filtration and just 166 magnums and 15 Jeroboams.
