We
needed to call in at Cape Point Vineyards in Noordhoek to book a tour. Winemaker Duncan Savage VERY
kindly took time out of his busy day to show us some of the new tank
samples
New barrels awaiting wine and the
press also waiting for grapes
The high view of the cellar
Barrels maturing
And a brand new amphora filed with red
wine
Duncan has used concrete eggs for
several years. Here he has a new plastic egg
Duncan showing Lynne the amphora. Old
techniques can still be used to make very good wine
An old friend and one of our best wine
characters: Give it Horns Cape Wine
Master Clive Torr getting involved with grapes this harvest
Duncan giving us tank samples of
delicious Cape Point Sauvignon Blanc must.
It was full of peaches and apricots, we can't wait to taste it when it
has finished fermenting
Clive working the modern steel grape
press
Assistant winemaker Riandri Visser waiting for the grapes to come in to the cellar
Off to Buitenverwachting to take
Hermann Kirschbaum a present of some special wine from our cellar for a change. He is astounded at the variety of things in
Lynne’s handbag
