The Festive Season

The busy festive season started with a bang as Jan Malan turned 50!

Aviation was the theme of the night and a good time was had by all.

As always Madré Malan and her fabulous Madré's Kitchen team produced a delicious spread. Thank you Hennie for the perfect steaks!

Small planes flew over head as guests sipped away at the beautiful Estate wines.

Wishing Jan a very a happy birthday.

Welcome Ella

The farm has added a new fluffy friend to the family, Ella the sweetest Golden Retriever puppy.

With a personality to match her cuteness she has everybody running after her. As for the Mr Jan Malan he has fallen for this bundle of blonde, a birthday gift from his wonderful wife Madré.

So as the summer months arrive we look forward to seeing the silloette of the farmer and his trusty four legged friend as she grows up on her beautiful new home Robert Stanford Estate.

 Tomorrow....we can learn about that tomorrow...

Introducing The Turkey Times.

The Robert Stanford Estate is a very busy place with all sorts of news and views! Owners Jan and Madré Malan are passionate about the land and all its riches. Turkeys have a very important job on the farm, the Estate holds a Biodiversity Champion status which endeavours to protect and conserve the unique natural heritage of the beautiful Overberg.

So in honour of the our gobble gobble friends who keep pests at bay we begin Turkey Times!

Lets take a peak at some pics and find out what has been happening....

The Sir Robert Stanford wines were awarded three medals at The Michelangelo CCL Label International Wine Awards 2012. The Sauvignon Blanc and Hansom recieved silver medals and the Shiraz a gold.

The wine shop is stocked and ready for action. Visit us for a tasting.

Jan is very excited about the new cutting edge Scott Henry Trellis System. This system is set up to lift the quality of the grapes. See below the Chardonnay vines.

While some buds are on their way to being bunches of beautiful grapes there is a little harvest happening. At our country restaurant,  Madre's Kitchen you will find delicious waterblommetijes on the menu which have been hand picked by Fabiano and prepared by Madré and her team just for you.
