It’s been an amazing few weeks on the farm since we had Wacky Wine Weekend, which was a resounding success for the Robertson Valley. We got a nice mention here from Diana Proctor on our 2007 Shiraz, which is now selling, so please contact sales@khk.co.za if you would like to get some.

There has been snow almost all the way onto the farm in the last few weeks, so it’s looking dry but the dam is filling up and with a small pocket of rain on Friday past, we are watching the fynbos go through its changes for winter, as we speak. The protea forest will be blooming again in August, which are looking forward to immensely. We have spotted some new proteas as well as some new fynbos on our farm walks, which is always positive to see.

With all the revamp going on with the shed/cellar we are carefully considering which fynbos to plant around it for look/feel as well as for support for the soil around the new shed/cellar. Planning for the cellar is going well and the structure is almost finished. We are obviously very excited about this, playing in our heads with new wines & how we are going to be spending our late summers on the farm, making wines there for the first time.

The Merlot Rose 2010 has been bottled but needs to settle a little more before we get it out, so please be certain to order your 2009 before the last few cases go.

The Taigh 2006 has taken on every characteristic of the beloved hound and is now showing the incredible depth we expected from it. Intense & thought provoking it makes you ponder and smile, all at once. We have had an incredible response to it and with the limited production on this particular wine we are certain that it’s going to be the start of something grand. Taigh will always be a limited run on the best grapes on the farm. We are very proud of this wine.

The entire team wishes you a fantastic week ahead. Take care & if there are any questions please do not hesitate to contact us via the contact page. We want to hear from you.
