Klein Constantia Harvest Report 2010

Published: 04 May 2010

Despite the inconvenience to the farm resulting from such a small crop, there are several positives that can be drawn from the situation, most importantly an increased understanding of our soils and individual vineyard blocks. Their requirements in terms of nutrients and whether or not they are in a state of balance, is now without question known to us, whereas previously it was uncertain. This enables us to tailor specific viticultural practices for individual blocks in the future.

We look to 2011 with a sense of excitement, and as I write this are in the throes of implementing strategies to improve next year’s yields whilst maintaining the high level of quality which has been a feature of this year’s crop.
