A new wine growing area has been
certified in the Outeniqua Mountains.
Cool mountain mists keep summer
temperatures moderate and create a long
ripening season for the Pinot Noir and
Sauvignon Blanc.
Accessed via the scenic
Montagu Pass near George, is a secluded
valley overlooked by Outeniqua’s highest
point, Cradock Peak, home to Herold
Wines. The wines hold great promise for
a region yet to be fully discovered and
potentially well suited to the
production of fine South-African wines.

The two bed roomed
guest cottage on Herold Wines has had a spring
facelift and is available for accommodation at R350.00 a night for two
plus R50.00 for each additional person.

Meet the PRO. Ingrid
Scheepers has worked for Herold
Wines the last two years as their
cellar hostess. She grew up in
Herold and completed matric in
Oudtshoorn. Two of her brothers work
for Herold Wines as well and their
mother, Gertruida, is one of the
three grandmothers after which the
cellar’s natural sweet dessert wine
is named after. The other
grandmothers are winemaker Vivien
and owner Mark’s mother, Gertrude,
and the “ouma gesiggie” grapes from
which the wine is made.
Her favourite wine from the
cellar:
The Agnus Albus - a Sauvignon Blanc,
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend! It
is an interesting blend that is
delicious, smooth and easy drinking.
Fact about Ingrid you probably
did not know:
Her favourite food is potatoes - in
any form. |
