86 No. 42967 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24 JANUARY 2020 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.
