Hi Everyone

Well, South Africa won the Rugby World Cup. Absolutely fantastic, very uplifting and everyone celebrated like mad!

This punter was seen celebrating with a bottle of our Double Gold Rose in Camps Bay.

We have had some fantastic late rains getting more than triple the average for October, but it has meant that we have had to be extra diligent in the vineyards. keeping our eyes open for Downy and Powdry Mildew, which can decimate one’s crop. Luckily the winds have stayed fresh and it has remained fairly cool ensuring a very healthy looking flowering season.

If the weather gods stay with us, this will turn into a beautiful bunch of Cabernet Sauvignon by March 2020.

We were very excited to receive a double gold for our 2016 Method Ancestral bubbly in the new SA Sparling Wine Championships among some stellar opposition. You can order it online here.

We had the most beautiful wedding this month, the chapel and reception area really looked amazing. Enquire about our wedding packages via info@vondelingwines.co.za

Enjoy the build up to Christmas. Its round the corner!

All the best

Julian
