Thunderchild.....


"the background of our children are characterised by dark and threatening clouds that sometimes create the feeling of being pushed into the ground"

The children referred to in the sentence above are those whom currently find themselves in the Herberg Children's Home in Robertson. These children have and still do fight the storms that rage not only at home but also deep within. These children have been been subject to trauma, hurt and longing. But these children have also amazed at their ability to overcome the darkness....

"They are in the real sense true Thunderchildren."

In 2002, five hectares of vines were planted on a property adjacent the home. Today this fine Cab franc (37%) / Merlot (37%) / Cab sauv (26%) blend is made by sympathetic cellars and sold in aid of the children, with 100% profits going to them. Finally a year from when I first tasted this great wine, it has managed to find a "home" on the Faerie Glen shelves. When you buy a bottle of this wine, you know that  you are not only getting a fantastic product. You will know it is made with "love" for children that need it.... so be sure to look out for this one.
