Up to the mercy of nature

Our Sauvignon Blanc was plagued last week by one of the strongest south-eastern winds of the year.The ‘Cape doctor’ made sure that roofs and trees alike had to show what they were made of (and unfortunately some did not pass the test). The south-eastern facing Sauvignon Blanc vineyard situated on Delvera received its fair share of wind, and unfortunately we lost quite a few shoots and flowers. This block produces some of the finest quality Sauvignon Blanc grapes and it will be an awful shame if this tradition were to end this year.
So lets all hold thumbs that our ‘golden boy’ rises from the ashes and lives up to its status.
It just goes to show that at the end of the day, nature is still in control.
