Rainbow's End

Hi Friends, Drinkers and fellow bloggers,
 
Some exciting news: Our Rainbow’s End Cabernet Franc 2007 has won the category ‘ Unusual Red ‘ in the ‘ Wine of the Month Club’. We are also excited about our 1st exports to the U.S.A. !
 
Anton, our winemaker, has returned from a successful marketing trip to Johannesburg ( Gauteng, S.A. ) where he , among other things, had some fun drinking, tasting and getting feedback from the enthusiastic and knowledgeable consumers, buyers and winewriters up north.
 
On Rainbow’s End our wines have gone through malolactic fermentation and racking, and are now ageing peacefully in the vats.
 
We have had a very wet and cold winter which bodes well for the vineyards. Francois, our viticulturist, has completed the pruning and all indications are that the ripening process will commence with no delayed budbreak.
 
Work on the rehabilitation of the fynbos will continue in the coming week with careful and controlled burning of more land infested with alien vegetation. In the garden various fruit trees have been planted to ensure fresh fruit all year round for the whole family and friends. Never a dull moment on Rainbow’s End !
Happy drinking and eating, from all the Malans on Rainbow’s End.
