Viticulturist Rosa Kruger at today's launch of the @oldvineproject seal certifying old vineyards. She's worked many years for this project, which has really taken off now. Viva Rosa! @AndreMorgenthal too!

Tardy, but I just read @TimJamesGrape's masterful piece on Eben Sadie in @worldoffinewine 53. Captures the spirit of the man & his wines.
