@ChristianEedes We had a magnum 1995 about 10 days ago. Still one of the best wines ever made in SA I think

@Winemag @WineSpectator Klein Constantia Chardonnay

[Francois van Zyl @francoiswineman]

@emilejoubert @Delheim Like the Burgundy type on the label

[Francois van Zyl @francoiswineman]

@DrKristieLeong Lots in red wine as well

Harvest nr 35 in the books. Biggest one yet. Thanks @KanonkopEstate . Great fun. Lots of work and very long hours but that's our job

@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.

[Francois van Zyl @francoiswineman]

@ChristianEedes @colyntruter Quite a difference between the areas

@LadyBartinney @PlaisirEstate Looks like Lady Gaga is you new white wine maker

@GregChalmersPGA a nice driver shaft for a Ping G400 head. Please!!

[Francois van Zyl @francoiswineman]

@LadyBartinney King Cab, Queen Merlot

[Francois van Zyl @francoiswineman]

@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?

[Francois van Zyl @francoiswineman]

@emilejoubert Lets see if Stellenbosch gets air - time in Struisbaai then

[Francois van Zyl @francoiswineman]

@ChristianEedes Terroir will always prevail

[Fiona McDonald @FionaMcDonaldSA]

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.
