BOARD NOTICE 2 OF 2020
          
                         NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR THE DEFINING OF A PRODUCTION AREA
                                         HELDERBERG-STELLENBOSCH (WARD)
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (In terms of Section 6 of the Wine of Origin Scheme published by Government Notice No. R.1434 of 29 June
            1990)
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please take note that Uva Mira Vineyards (Pty) Ltd applied to the Wine and Spirit Board to define Helderberg-
            Stellenbosch (Ward) as a production area to produce Wine of Origin.

Definition of the proposed ward boundary
            The proposed Helderberg-Stellenbosch  Ward (Fig.1) boundary starts in  the neck between  Stellenbosch
            Mountain and Helderberg Mountain at Grootnek (529 m) and the upper reaches of the Blouklip River. From

here it runs along the course of the Blouklip River downwards in a northerly and westerly direction until it
            reaches  the R44, and excludes  Jamestown  and other non-agricultural areas. It  further  follows the R44
            generally southwards to right against the residential area of Bel Aire and from there the north-south watershed
            up along Helderberg to right against the peak. It then follows the peak (watershed) of the mountain in a north-
            easterly direction to where it rejoins the neck that separates Helderberg and Stellenbosch Mountain, the
            starting point mentioned above.

Geology
            The proposed ward consists mainly of well weathered granite (N-Ck) and greywacke soils (Nf) (Fig. 2). Some
            of the soils are of binary origin with younger, sandy Table Mountain Sandstone overlying the primary rocks.
            (Qgg)

Aspect
            The  proposed Helderberg-Stellenbosch  Ward mostly face (29.3%)  in  a  north-westerly direction (pink
            sections; Fig. 3), which means that these slopes receive more solar radiation than the south-east facing
            slopes of the mountain. Approximately 71% of the proposed ward's aspects lie between north and west,
            which contrasts greatly with the south and south-east facing slopes of the Helderberg.

The proposed boundaries can be viewed at www.sawis.co.za – "Certification – News and Information” or
            contact Jackie Cupido at 021-807 5704.

Anyone having any objection  against this application  is hereby notified to  lodge  their objections, with
            motivations,  in  writing with  Olivia Poonah (olivia@wsb.org.za),  The  Secretary,  Wine and Spirit Board,
            P O Box 2176, Dennesig, Stellenbosch, 7599 within 30 (thirty) days of publication of this notice.
