Post House Wines
There is no single activity which results in a great wine, but rather a combination of activities which add up to something great and unique.
One of these steps is in essence a conscious step back by interfering as little as possible in the creation of the wine making process and incorporating traditional wine making methods. This includes natural yeast fermentation, basket pressing and no fining or filtering.
The Drift - Beautiful Wine
The Drift Estate is an education in generational thinking. It’s a family focus.
Sometimes, it’s a frank reflection of personal failure. But the mistakes and disappointments are only the slippery steps up a beautiful mountain slope. This is farming, after all.
When you pause for breath and look around at the view, the stumbling is forgotten.
You realise, you are still going forward and upward for all the right reasons. What a privilege. Your eyes and nose and lungs are flooded with freshness and this seeps into your soul.
Your weariness disappears. You feel more. You sense more. You can’t help smiling, and it starts in your heart. Life, and this clamorous endeavour called living, are put into perspective.
THE GOOSE WINES
The Goose Wine Estate is based in the unique Upper-Langkloof valley, nestled just behind the Outeniqua Mountains on the picturesque Garden Route of South Africa. The name on the Farm’s Title Deed is “Ganzekraal”, which means “Goose Closure” or “Goose Enclave”.
The farm and the surrounding area were given the name over a century ago when Wild Geese from the area flew down during the day to rest in the cattle and sheep closures.
They would forage on the seeds and pips in the feed, while the animals were out on pasture.
This behaviour was especially prevalent during the times of drought.
The Tempest Gin
The Tempest Gin embodies the dramatic nature of the Cape of Storms and the abundance of the richest floral kingdom on earth.
Grape spirit and hand-harvested, seasonal, fynbos botanicals are infused and distilled to reflect each unique season.
The name is derived from the latin term tempus meaning time & season and tempestas meaning a violent windstorm frequently accompanied by rain, snow or hail.
