A couple of years ago Strandveld Vineyards initiated a project to support education in the local community. In March 2017, 20 Grade 4 learners from our local primary school, Elim Primêr, together with the Strandveld team hand-harvested and foot-stomped grapes from one of our best Syrah vineyards under the guidance of Conrad Vlok, our cellarmaster. The juice was treated with exceptional care in the cellar and the result is a single 300 litre barrel of great Syrah. Sales of this special wine will go towards reaching our goal of raising R100 000 for Elim Primêr. The funds raised from this project will be used to fund an additional teacher for the school as well as to make much needed upgrades to the buildings and facilities #wineforgood
