DamasceneV

Welcome to the home of Damascene Vineyards. Be on the lookout for our new website, damascenevineyards.com, that will be live from tomorrow evening - it’s a thing of beauty. #damascenevineyards #lesscultmorecultivation

Grounded. Understanding and nurturing the sites we work with is the bedrock of what we do. The earth is but a ceiling of another universe, one we have much respect for. #damascene #damascenevineyards #terroir #lesscultmorecultivation #winemaking #winemakerslife

That's a wrap, our last tank pressed for #harvest2021. Thank you to our harvest team for all their passion, hard work & for their impeccable attention to detail in both cellar & vineyard. Now the wines are on to the next journey as they rest & mature. #Damascene

A picturesque morning, picking our last Chenin Blanc from rolling Bottelary Hills seen in the distance. #DamasceneVineyards #Damascene #Harvest2021 #wine #vineyards #sawine

Rooted on the rare east-facing greywacke slope of the Bottelary Hills is this key vineyard for our Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc. #DamasceneVineyards #Harvest2021 #LessCultMoreCultivation #CheninBlanc #vineyard #Stellenbosch

There’s no slowing down as the second last vineyard of Chenin Blanc for 2021 is harvested, soon making its way to a bottle of Damascene - maybe some magnums on the horizon, judging by the quality... #DamasceneVineyards #Harvest2021 #LessCultMoreCultivation #CheninBlanc

The intense concentration and acidity from this old hilltop Chenin Blanc vineyard is bound to inspire and set in motion the creative juices needed to craft spectacular wine. #DamasceneVineyards #Harvest2021 #LessCultMoreCultivation #CheninBlanc #vineyard #winemaking

Old vine Chenin Blanc rooted in shale at high altitude in Stellenbosch is not something you stumble upon often, but when you do, you farm it like it is the last block standing. #DamasceneVineyards #Harvest2021 #LessCultMoreCultivation #CheninBlanc #Vineyard #OldVine

We picked this Swartland Syrah this morning, its vines densely packed in shale, a foliated sedimemtary rock that is known to populate some of the world's most uniquely expressive vineyard sites, producing exemplary, distinctive fruit. #damascenevineyards

Caught in a moment. Steadfast to the very vines that will next year bear fruit once more, these are some of the last Chenin grapes to be harvested for Damascene in 2021. #Damascenevineyards #harvest2021 #LessCultMoreCultivation #CheninBlanc #vineyard

From vine to bottle, we are immensely excited to steer the fruit from these pristine Chenin Blanc vines planted three generations ago into a balanced bottle of Damascene. #DamasceneVineyards #Harvest2021 #LessCultMoreCultivation #CheninBlanc

Another spectacular morning spent in Stellenbosch as one more of our 45 vineyards prepares itself to show its worth in the Damascene winery. #DamasceneVineyards #Harvest2021 #LessCultMoreCultivation

A true privilege to harvest from these vines. 20 years shy of a century's worth of growth, this Semillon was planted in 1942 in Franschhoek, a treasure vault for old vine Semillon. #damascene

A #DamasceneMoment in stereo. An early morning view over @franschhoeksa. Soul-stirring stuff. #damascene #damascenevineyards #wine #harvest2021 #wineharvest #sawinelockdown

Old bushvine Chenin Blanc rooted in shale; ready for picking are the clean, healthy bunches, testament to a great growing season. #damascene #damascenevineyards #wine #harvest2021 #wineharvest #oldvine

Harvested chenin this morning from a special site in the Swartland. A true #DamasceneMoment when the morning sun filters through the vines. #damascene #damascenevineyards #wine #harvest2021 #wineharvest #winelover #sawinelockdown

The time has come! Damascene’s 2021 harvest has begun. Swartland Chenin Blanc has got the ball rolling, with concentrated gems of clean, healthy fruit making their way to the cellar. #damascene #damascenevineyards #wine #havest2021 #wineharvest #savesawine #sawinelockdown

With South Africa experiencing its second #SAWineLockdown we would like thank you for supporting our industry and its beautiful people. #damascene

What drives us at DAMASCENE is knowing that these wines are out there, waiting to be made. Always looking for that next DAMASCENE moment. #LessCultMoreCultivation #damascene #damacenewines #sawinelockdown #ilovesawine_japan #wosa #terroir #winemaking #

Rooted in our belief that by harnessing knowledge from the historic stewards of the vineyards helps us ensure we cultivate the vines to their ultimate potential. #Damascene #LessCultMoreCultivation #wine #terroir #winemaking #spectacularsouthafrica #ilovesawine_japan
