Synopsis
The mountains of the Paardeberg where the kwagga once roamed are dark and haunting. It’s a dramatic part of the Cape, scattered with old wine farms. Those farms were
one of the reasons the area appealed to wine writer Neil Pendock when he and his partner Luan Nel were on the hunt for a weekend getaway in the country. It was mid-winter and pouring with rain the day they arrived at Lemoenfontein five years ago. ‘The house was isolated, quite bleak and foreboding,’ says Neil, ‘and very modest.’
