@colyntruter@MaluLambert Some of the best Merlot and Cab Franc for us in the last 23 vintages, but we did manage to get everything in before the first rains in March.
@ChristianEedes Worked with these grapes 11 year ago also Merlot from same spot. Probably best Chard/Pinot potential in SA but unfortunately income per hectare will never exceed apples at around 80 tons per hectare. If you can get R1500 per bottle maybe but who is jumping up and down for that?
Added to the tasting @KanonkopEstate was the latest acquisition, Laibach. Always been so underrated - so it was lovely to hear folks raving about Claypot Merlot. Johann Krige is bullish about the merlot particularly, and organic know how & practices too. One to watch.
