Posted by Allen Mayers
I am interested in a summary of your conclusions for terracing steep vineyards. Any comments appreciated.

We are currently developing a wine farm in the Constantia Valley area of Cape Town, South Africa. The farm, Eagles Nest, is on a mountain side and the bulk of our slopes are very steep (greater than 30%) which is beyond that which is commerciall farmed in SA.We are therfore looking to contact simialr farms / sites with soft'ish soils - Tukulu and Pinedene which we could use as references in helping to estabish terracing plans, erosion measures, vineyard spacing and production methodologies / management, etc...If you are aware of any potential sites, and these are not restricted to Germany or Europe, please contact the writer at either the above email address or by fax at (SA)(21)7941974 or by mobile (SA)82 800 0489.Regards, Peter Stewart
