If you have a spare moment, click though to the their website to read the Rustenberg story - surprisingly, it's somewhat interesting. :)
See this post for more about this photo and Rustenberg Wine's open gardens.

Fascinating story and beautiful pics, I visit your site daily to get a glimpse of our Fairest Cape. You post such interesting photos that fill me with nostalgia for home. It is such a rich and wondrous place more so when you live far away from it.
