{"title":"Job shortage","description":"Stellenrust is currently one of the largest family-owned wineries in South Africa. Founded in 1928, it now produces some of the most renowned quality wines from the Stellenbosch region. Of its 400 hectares, 200 are planted with vines. Half of the vineyards are located within Stellenbosch\u0026#39;s Golden Triangle, which enjoys an international reputation for producing some of South Africa\u0026#39;s finest red wine soils. The other half lies on the Bottelary Hills, where the climate is cooler and a refreshing breeze is said to be a regular feature in the afternoons. The grapes for the \u0026quot;Kleine Rust\u0026quot; range also come from the cooler slopes of the Bottelary Hills, where they grow on 15-year-old vines. Dr. Tertuis Boshoff also secured Fairtrade certification and ensured the winery\u0026#39;s excellent value for money. Today, Stellenrust represents generations of winemakers with the motto \u0026quot;Where excellence meets winemaking\u0026quot;... and every single bottle reflects this.","products":[{"product_id":"stellenrust-chenin-blanc","title":"Chenin Blanc treads","description":"\u003cp\u003eChenin Blanc from Stellenbosch rarely has the reputation it deserves — this example from Stellenrust is a reminder of why the grape variety has been considered a secret tip among connoisseurs in South Africa for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Stellenrust winery is located in the Bottelary Hills region of Stellenbosch, one of the best areas for old Chenin Blanc vines in South Africa.
