Amazing day exploring some of South Africa’s oldest vineyards with @andremorgenthal of @oldvineproject. This is an old Chenin vineyard in Wellington Johan Kruger is using to make wine for @nakedwines and which has saved the vineyard from being grubbed up. . . . #vines #oldvines #vineyard #cheninblancA rare veggie moment @spekenbone - spiced corn on the corn with macadamia nuts and a very good bar snack of roast peppers and homemade butter. Totally love the meat here, especially the lamb, but must admit it came as a bit of a relief! . . . #corn #cornonthecob #peppers #vegetarian #plantbased #stellenboschReally love the Cape Dutch architecture in Stellenbosch. . . . #Stellenbosch #capedutch #eveninglight #travel #southafricaThe oldest recorded South African Chenin Blanc vineyard estimated to date back to at last 1920 which produces this incredible @sadiefamilywines wine. #oldvines @oldvineproject . . . . #chenin #cheninblanc #vines #vineyard #stellenbosch #southafrica Follow on Instagram
