Wine producer Vergelegen Wine Estate, in Somerset West, is testing a new concept – environment-friendly eucalyptus poles that have not been chemically treated – in some of its vineyards The untreated poles have been installed in two blocks of vineyards, extending over 3.55 ha. These are planted with sauvignon blanc and semillon grapes. The remaining four blocks, planted in 2020, have steel poles in one block, and normal treated pine poles in the remainder, says Vergelegen viticulturist Rudolf Kriel.
