Wine vs. Nature


The current issue of The Nature Conservancy has articles on wine regions that are working to make grape growing and habitat protection compatible activities. South Africa is one area that has been very active and the program there is called Biodiversity and Wine Initiative (BWI). The winery featured as having a very successful BWI program, is Vergelegen...another photograph of the manor house, taken by Jennifer Griffiths, can seen near the bottom of the column on the right.
