History in the Making

ward-winning Stellenbosch estate Neethlingshof has recently been rewarded with membership of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI), highlighting the winerys commitment to

eco-sustainability. The 378 ha winery has set aside 127 ha for conservation and the first replanting of the indigenous Renosterveld species has begun. The Neethlingshof reserve tier, the Short Story Collection, draws attention to Neethlingshofs rich and varied narratives. The three limited edition wines in the collection each focus on a specific aspect of the estates philosophy or history. The Caracal, the flagship Bordeaux blend, celebrates the return of the rooikat to Neethlingshof since the start of its programme two years ago to conserve and rehabilitate areas of indigenous habitat, particularly the unique ecosystems surrounding the estates granite hills. Rooikatte are now also breeding on Neethlingshof. The Owl Post, a single-vineyard Pinotage, draws attention to the estates integrated pest management that forms part of the winerys focus on production integrity to reduce its dependence on pesticides. Owl posts have been placed strategically throughout the vineyards. Maria is the new name for the acclaimed Weisser Riesling Noble Late Harvest and honours Maria Magdalena Marais, the resourceful and fiesty young widow who took over the building of the estates manor house after the death of her husband, Charles, in 1813. The home was completed the following year and is now a national monument. Assisted by two teenage sons, the widow Marais was responsible for developing a vibrant and viable farming operation that included 80 000 vines to produce 30 leaguers of wine and 1,75 leaguers of brandy a year. At the time, the farm was named Wolwedans. However, some time after the marriage of her daughter, Anna Margaretha to Johannes Henoch Neethling, the name of the property was changed to Neethlingshof.
