VINEYARD STORIES
“It was a cold day pruning the Syrah block. She called. I have never cycled home so fast. Our beautiful girl Rebecca was born that night”.
Stanley began working in the syrah vineyard in 2013. After 10 years, he knows this vineyard like the back of his hand.
All season he battles the steep, rocky terrain, the sun, the cold and the odd Cape Cobra in his mission to produce the best fruit possible.
He manages this 1.5ha
vineyard to a very high standard, producing the most remarkably
intense syrah grapes.
At harvest time we calculate the profitability of the vineyard
based on the quality and quantity of grapes produced. The profit is then transferred
to Stanley.

On the
front label of the Syrah 2019, Stanley tells the story of the birth of his youngest
daughter, Rebecca, and how he had to rush home from the vineyard on his bicycle.
He is a true family man, and thanks to the first couple of seasons under this model, Stanley has been able to re-build and upgrade his family home where his wife, Rebecca and the rest of his children now live.
