About
Influenced by altitude, slope, prevailing winds and sunlight interception the cool Elgin Terrior leads to an extended ripening period on the vine. Later ripening, closer to autumn, mean considerable diurnal temperature variation. This slows down sugar development, allowing the accumulation of more aroma, flavour and the retention of higher acidity. Resulting in naturally balanced wine with complex flavours. The family pursues sustainable agriculture and has been given international recognition for its farming practices. These awards include the Drinks Business Green Awards Lifetime achievement and the Nedbank Green Award for Best Environmental Farming Practises and Nedbank Leader in Water Conservation. We are also a champion farm for Biodiversity in Wine.

Dreams are weird
They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.
And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.
Sad fact: nobody wants to hear it. There is only one dream worth talking about, and that's Martin Luther King Jr's.
Anyhoo, last night we had a dream where we featured half off tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers live at the Department of Home Affairs. They weren't even performing. They just worked there. Crazy, huh?
