⚜️De Wetshof hosted 20 representatives of the media at Salon restaurant in Cape Town for a vertical tasting of De Wetshof Bateleur Chardonnay.

Going back to the 2006 vintage, the origins of the Bateleur vineyard were told, but the wines did the talking. Each wine had its own personality with distinctive nuances, yet the refined elegance - Bateleur’s signature - showed throughout.

The tasting was followed by lunch, a magnificent menu created by Chef Luke Dale Roberts.

⚜️Winter pruning is one of the most technical and important tasks in the vineyard season.

The vineyards goes through seasonal stages en route to when grapes are harvested, and wine made.

In winter there is dormancy, a sleeping period of rest and thought, drawing strength from the soil and cool air. Here, from mid-June to August, it is pruning time. This is an important part of vineyard management.

At its most basic, pruning refers to removing shoots. But it’s much more complicated than that. Pruning decisions impact the volume and quality of grapes at harvest time, also presenting an opportunity to control disease and address vine damage.

When asked, most of our vineyard workers say - without hesitation - that pruning season is their favourite time among the vines.

⚜️A sensory experience with Riedel - The Wine Glass Company glassware presented by Tarryn Vincent & Lauren Kline.

Serving your wine in the ‘correct’ glassware is as important as choosing the right wine for the occasion and serving it at the right temperature.

So much of the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of a wine can be affected by the glass.

⚜️The rain came, and kept coming, sending the Breede River into flood. The great river broke its banks, spilling into nearby vineyards, including our Chardonnay block planted in 2023.

We are thinking of all the farmers in our valley who are once again exposed to flood damage - nature gives so much, but also takes away....
