The Druk-My-Niet farm lies at the foothills of the Hawekwa Mountains, next to the historic Hugenot Gedenk School. Over the past 7 years, the farm has been extensively renovated and replanted; the old cellar now boasting an 80tonne state of the art boutique winery. In addition, as members of the Biodiversity and Wine Initiative, winemaker Abraham DeKlerk is busy converting the farm into a fully-fledged organic farm.

The two wines with which the label is being launched are Mapoggo Red 2008 and Mapoggo White 2009. The red is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a nose of wild berries, black current, olive and tobacco leaves. The white wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Viognier with a fruity nose of pineapple, mango and peach; complimented by a gooseberry palate.

Over and above its wines, Druk-My-Niet offers holiday accommodation to anyone needing a getaway. Their peaceful ambience and uninterrupted views of the Paarl valley can be enjoyed in one of two thatched, self-catering Cape Dutch cottages

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
