Old Vine Status for Weisser Riesling & Sauvignon blanc blocks
Old vines often get a proud mention on wine labels around the world, but only in South Africa is it possible for that claim to be certified by the regulatory authority. Here, members of the Old Vine Project (OVP) can put a Certified Heritage Vineyards seal on bottles of wine made from vineyards of 35 years or older, as well as the planting date.
Old vines make wines with a unique character, and we are proud that this year two of our blocks are reaching Old Vine status. One is a block of Sauvignon blanc (NEV184/193) that is still performing quite well, and the other is the block of Weisser Riesling (NEV 301/303) from which our award winning The Maria Noble Late Harvest is produced.
