Louis Mostert, a former South African vintner, is visiting his daughter who lives in Ireland and asked to stop by to see what we were doing. He was very encouraged and has put us in touch with a enologist in SA who wants to come to Ireland.
Louis owned a vineyard and winery in SA but has sold it and retired. He now consults for other vintners. He thought our vines looked very healthy. It's always good to hear from people who know what they are doing that we are not insane.
The Rondo leaves have just turned a pleasing shade of reddish-orange. All the others are still green.
