Wine Range

At the beginning of the season decisions have to be made what style of wines we want to make and what volumes will be right for our marketing style and abilities. So with some deliberation and a few glasses of inspirational wine, we decided to make 9 different wines ranging from a blended Cabernet/Shiraz and Cabernet/Ruby Cabernet to organic Cabernet, organic Chardonnay, both wooded and unwooded, to Blanc de Noir and Cap Classic. Even a natural sweet wine as dessert wine is in the making.

Three weeks ago Country Living magazine came to the farm for some photos and kindly sent us copies which is why my picture is on today's blog.

On a private note: My little daughter Ines (she claims to be about 1/2 head taller then me) since landing a great job as a journalist in Jo'burg is editing my blog, wiping out my German grammar and spelling blunders. Try spell check and the most hilarious word creations appear. I just want to thank you, Ines!

On the guest house side we feel the slowing down of the season with less advance-bookings and bigger gaps in the booking sheets. But I am not complaining. This season was among the best I ever had and many returning guest confirmed it by choosing us again.
