Happy Spring Day, and Happy Cap Classique Day! Today’s agenda: bubbles, sunshine, and a toast to our favourite little madame :)

We love MCC so much that we started making some for ourselves in 2010, and named it after our little poodle, Lucy - a small project, just for fun. She has since grown her fan club, and we now produce just enough to share with the wider public.

The next vintage is being labelled as we speak. Our 2023 will be released soon - if you’d like to be first in line, send us a DM with your email and we’ll make sure you don’t miss it.

Cheers to spring, and to Lucy.

This July was one of the driest we’ve seen in 20 years, and not every cover crop pulled through the way we’d hoped. But where it counted, nature came through, the vetch is up in full purple bloom, and the yellow mustard is putting on a proper show across the rows.

Between the dry spell and bud break tracking a couple of weeks earlier than usual this season, the team’s racing to finish pruning in time. Busy days in the vineyard.

This is exactly the experience we love creating. Thank you for the kind words, Ethan!

She can do it all, literally!

From managing our warehouse to running our guesthouse, Lize-Marie wears more hats than most, and wears them well. But ask anyone on the team and they’ll tell you it’s her heart that really sets her apart, always thinking of others.

This month’s Unsung Hero is someone we simply couldn’t do without!

Slow, misty mornings, a warm kitchen, a cup of coffee and a book. The kind of quiet you can only find at The Farm House.

Come stay a while — bookings open now.

Oxalis duriuscula is a small, endangered flower that grows in this corner of the Overberg and nowhere else. It holds on where most things give up. We named our most premium wine after it, and every time I see the label, I think of the women who do the same for this farm.

One year of The Kitchen Door!

We’re celebrating a whole year of deliciousness and having Chef Jen and her amazing team as part of the Gabriëlskloof family.

Thank you for creating more memorable meals, more spectacular events, and, generally, all-round goodness than we could ever count.

The koppie is a better place with you on it!

We’re open again from Saturday, 1 August, after a season of rest.

Spend the day tasting your way through the Gabriëlskloof range, then pull up a chair at The Kitchen Door, marking a full year of service this same weekend. (🍾🥂!)

See you soon!

Ask Sakkie about the lawn and you’ll get a whole conversation. Between him and Jacques, the dietes and agapanthus beds stay full and tidy through every season, but that lawn is something else - Sakkie’s pride and joy, and it shows every time you walk across it.
