Lammershoek Terravinum Reserve Red

- Other products of Lammershoek Lammershoek was proclaimed in 1718 - one of three farms in the Aprilskloof valley of the Paardeberg. The first vineyards were planted in 1750. The farm has an interesting history and in the past caught the eye of Desiderius Pongrácz who visited the farm in the seventies. He saw the potential of the area and encouraged the then-owner to plant such "exotic" varieties as Harslévelü, Tinta Barocca, Carignan and Grenache Noir. The result is that some of the oldest vines of these varieties in the country are found at Lammershoek. (Recently discovered documents indicate that some of these varieties, including Mourvèdre were planted in the Paardeberg around 100 years ago! Unfortunately these gems were lost due to South Africa's apartheid era style of winemaking). Paul and Anna Kretzel had the good fortune of purchasing the farm in 1995. Initially they continued to deliver the grapes produced on the farm to Perdeberg Co-op. In 2000 the step was taken to renovate the existing cellar at Lammershoek and to produce wine under the Lammershoek label. Günther and Sieglinde Stephan joined as partners in the venture at this time. Albert Ahrens joined in 2002 as winemaker and Carla, Paul and Anna's daughter, joined in 2006 to assist with sales and marketing. As well as local sales, we now export our wine to around 15 countries.
