Make empowerment happen
· 1 min read
Applications for Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme funding for 2018/19 are being received and will soon be adjudicated. The process has become much stricter, so please ensure all relevant documentation is in place before submitting your application. For more information contact your local Western Cape department of agriculture office.
VinPro will provide management services during the process and Phil Bowes will chair the Commodity Project Allocation Committee (CPAC). Many projects were cancelled by government and applicants during the 2016/17 funding cycle. Project implementation for the wine industry under the 2017/18 funding cycle started in the second quarter of this year.
VinPro has a memorandum of understanding with Capital Harvest and it has agreed to consider all CPAC applications. So send in your ideas. And make empowerment happen!
For more information call Phil Bowes, VinPro transformation and development manager, on 021 276 0434.

The Portrait of a South African Winemaker
In James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus resolves to express himself "as freely as I can and as wholly as I can". Joyce's hero refuses to be just one thing. That same many-sided energy is increasingly being asked of the modern South African winemaker, who has to adopt different faces for different places.

Ice in the Chenin and other South African wine crimes
There is ice in the Chenin Blanc, Cap Classique in an ordinary wine glass and a bowl of curry waiting beside a bottle of something pink. By old wine standards, the afternoon is a small crime scene.
