It\u2019s become our tradition to bless the harvest here at Vergenoegd L\u00f6w. To give gratitude for our beautiful vineyards and the fine fruit they deliver. To celebrate the harvest to come. And to rejoice in our team and our community \u2013 the very people who play an integral part in the unique expression of each vintage we make. It\u2019s customary to give our blessings in English, Afrikaans, and isiXhosa. And we invite the neighbours to join us. This year, we were thrilled and proud to include well-known winemaker Beyers Truter amongst the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our annual ceremony is an important way of honouring our heritage while paying tribute to the team of today. As one, we symbolically emptied baskets of grapes into the press and to conclude, we raised our MCC<\/a>-filled glasses to the harvest, the farm, to each other and to all our supporters. From far away, you could hear the clear pealing sounds as we rang the old werfklok<\/em> (farmvard bell) to welcome vintage 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
