THE VINEYARD AND SOIL
The Chenin blanc is a gnarly 30 year old vineyard rooted
in deep rich Red well drained Karoo/ Hutting soils. It was
planted by our father, Irene Martin Bruwer and the vines
still remember being ploughed by our prized clydesdale horses
– a practice taken over by tractors these days.
The production is just 4 to 5 bunches from a few shoots
every year from it’s thick base, resulting to about
2000 liters per hectare. The vines are Flood irrigated three
times during the growing season only.
