		<title>Lammershoek Straw Wine Grapes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Lammershoek makes a fantastic, unique dessert wine every year from (mostly) Chenin Blanc. The grapes are picked at normal ripeness, then are dried on a specially built trellis for about two weeks before being pressed. 
This process results in a very small amount of very wine (only approximately 70 liters of juice from one ton [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breaking the first pomegranate at Morgenster Estate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ripening of the pomegranate has traditionally signaled the readiness of the grapes to be harvested. Today we obviously have more accurate techniques for determining the perfect time to commence harvest.

		<title>Harvest Is Heating Up!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160;&#160;&#160;
Severely dry weather has already affected harvest for the Haut Espoir winery. &#160;Last week, things quickly changed on the farm when a fire blazed through Franschhoek and into the vineyard. &#160;Driven by strong winds, flames destroyed 5000 hectares of landscape and precious Fynbos from Jonkershoek to Haut Espoir. &#160;Unfortunate enough, this is the second year [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plunging the Pinotage at Marklew</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We just got some fun photos of Haidee and Billy Marklew, and winemaker Kijo Malek doing the time-honored process of plunging the skins during fermentation in concrete vats. During fermentation the CO2 created pushes the skins to the top of the vats. Plunging, the process of re-submerging&#160; the skins, keeps them in maximum contact with [...]]]></description>

Wine marketers are going to have to consult their dictionaries to come up with original superlatives for the back to back bumper quality vintages in the Stellenbosch area&#8230;
	Extremely low yields after heavy wind in late October, coupled to good ground water moisture and moderate ripening temperatures indicate a vintage of intense [...]]]></description>
