In
August 2003, an overgrown plot in Kalk Bay was cleared of
debris and 571 Cabernet Franc vines planted. The vineyard
was the brainchild of Alex Bassios, Karena du Plessis, Kalk
Bay residents, and Kenneth McClarty, from the Olympia Café
and Deli. Not only was the abandoned plot a health hazard
that residents were up in arms about, but the trio had seen
an article in the Cape
Times
about French winemaker, Jean-Vincent Ridon from Signal Hill
Wines and it struck a cord.
