TRAVEL: Cozy winter getaway in Stellenbosch Part 2
A wintery staycation in Stellenbosch is exactly what the doctor ordered. Get out of the winter slump and explore your country.
Our next stop on our 3 day staycation was Neil Ellis.
Mindful that no single vineyard can satisfy the needs of all grape varieties, Niel Ellis set out
to identify distinct terroir in which individual varieties will excel. He placed the emphasis not
only on the environment but also on caring viticultural practices by a dedicated team of
growers which extends through to the winemaking.
