Swartland, South Africa - 7th January 2009

Rightio first stop is the Swartland Winery.
The history of Swartland Winery dates back to 1948 when the Swartland Co-operative was founded by 15 member farmers in the Swartland region which got its name from Jan van Riebeeck’s description of the land on seeing the indigenous vegetation, ‘renosterbos’, appear black in colour.
Lizzy tells me a "renoster" is a rhino, I surely hope I won't find one of those in there

Seeing as it is still a bit early I will start the day of with some nice Bubbly --- Hhmmmm, elegant, delicate muscat flavours complemented by grassy undertones

Tiger Tom: Lizzie, why are there rose bushes in the vinyards?
Lizzie: It's because roses are very sensitive to bugs and sickness, so the farmers watch the roses to see if they need to spray the vinyards to keep the grapes healthy.
Tiger Tom: Aaahh, but still a very romantic pairing
