Viticulture Pioneers

From trial plantings of 5 varieties, we now have 6000 established vines with a yield of up to 17 tonnes of fruit. Weather conditions at critical times such as

fruit set are our main challenge, overcome by strategically planted wind breaks. Guinea fowl roaming throughout the vines provide good pest control. Vines are mulched with organically rich natural mulch.

From the establishment of the vineyard –erecting trellising and planting vines through to pruning, harvesting and bottling we have been helped by a supportive community. Over time people have become familiar with the process and our annual ‘Music in the Vines’ is a ‘thank you’ to them all.
