Fynbos is busy as usual. Alongside all the
normal winter stuff (road works, irrigation fixing, building maintenance etc.) we
have spent most of our time on wine, olives, the building of Eagle and planting.
Wine
Overall we bottled about 1500 (recycled) bottles
of wine and sent our first export pallets to the UK in June. De Perdestal turned into a small factory as
we labelled and boxed like crazy.
Olives
Weeks of picking by the team were followed
by two or three pressings to yield some 105 litres of oil. About 210 half litre
bottles to go on sale
Planting
An abundance of proteas, pincushions and leucadendrons
were planted at Black Eagle. Such fun for Diana
