The Breedekloof study group visited ADVICO demo sites at Opstal, Welgelee, and Goudini Cellar. At Opstal, producers noted the Chenin Blanc clone selection provided valuable insight into high-quality, high-production options. Welgelee highlighted growth differences among rootstocks, while Goudini showcased new red and white cultivars for potential future production. Feedback also covered pruning, trellis systems, regenerative farming, young vine management, and new vineyard technologies.
