An astonishing find was made by the vineyard team in the Grenache Blanc vineyards today, a rock mask. The vineyard ladies decided the only man on the team, Ampie, would have the task of removing this weird and rather sinister-looking rock.
Perhaps Tracey, our historian, can add this find to her treasured artefacts, or maybe we can hide it in the Bamboesbos to scare the ghosts and guests, or simply display it on the Fyndraai patio as a talking point. Whatever we decide to do with it, I always have this desire to name things, and I think it needs a name.

What a cool find! I can see why the vineyard ladies were a little nervous about it. It looks to me like a friendly spirit.
