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.
