Hi Guys, Just wanted to say your web page is too, too beautiful. Very nostalgic in a sepia-type way. Having been born in the Northern Cape, lived and worked in the Western Cape and now living in Gauteng - my heart just ached looking at the pics of your green rolling hills. A land of beauty indeed! I WILL retire to the Cape one day - my soul needs the gentleness. P.S. Have been drinking your little black box of Robertsons Sav Blanc for evah! LOVE it. Keep up the good work.

The background scenery is absolute beautiful and spectacular.You bring Robertson to the customers.I really think that it is unique. To be quite honest i feel like having a glass of your excellent wine now, pity i am still at work. Keep up the good work and excellent wine making!! Regards, Casper Genis

Dear Sirs, I am absolutely astounded by the elegance and superiority of your new website. The autumn and spring colours of the pictures makes one almost taste and smell the aroma's and crispiness of all the beautiful wines I so often buy. Your site is also very informative,it almost makes one want to climb inside my monitor. It is such a pity we do not have smelly monitors,so that I could savour all the aroma's... Well done once again and keep up the good work. Best regards, Mark Goeller

Dear Robertson Winery, Hi there ! Thanks for your September Newsletter - made interesting reading ! Congrats on the Wolfkloof Shiraz taking Gold in Canada ( Local is lekker - Proudly South African !!) The Recipe for Pinotage Pears sounds divine, will HAVE to try it and impress friends !! Had a look at your website and love it. Nice to see the changing pictures of the Vineyards with the mountains in the backround and the pic of family enjoying quality time around a table with good wine !! Keep up the great work ! Regards, Charlene

To whom it may concern, I visited your website and I find it is very user friendly. A few of my friends and I come together for a wine tasting once a month. We then introduce a wine of our choice with a short history on the specific wine, the wine estate or the cultivar. I haven’t been on a website that gives such a terrific layout when going to the wine portfolio and choosing one of the wines in your range. It is done very well and seeing that it is my turn to host the wine club evening this month, I am definitely going to choose one of your wines accompanied by the information you give on the wine. I am very impressed because it is easy to find the exact information that I always look for. Thank you! Karien Barnard

I think your website is absolutely lovely scenery and so restful to my eyes. While at work in front of my computer most of the day my eyes begin to tire and burn from the bright screen but your website does just the opposite – I sit and dream of spending a week in that valley and amongst those mountains with a glass of extra light sauvignon blanc in my hand relaxed in a lounger and with my car loaded with bottles of light Pinotage Rose, some Chenin Blanc and of course I want to try the vineyard selection Wolfkloof Shiraz – I heard that for the mature lady Shiraz was the drink!! Especially when out with my other mature lady and gent friends over a special dinner. Joan Thorburn 073 1898907

Hi there, I have received the Robertson Winery newsletter for sometime now, and the new format is very classy. I am a specialist wine guide and know the Robertson area well, although my visits these days are infrequent. There is a lot of information provided, nice images and I enjoyed finding out about the farmers market. I have lived in Cape Town for the last 14 years (emigrating from Adelaide in South Australia), so the information on the colour project and RDI was of interest to me. I did a garagiste wine making course at the University of Stellenbosch two years ago, so I am always looking to learn more about the wine industry and where it is going. It is a great passion of mine, not only drinking the wonderful wines from the cape region, but learning and hearing about the ongoing studies on how much water grapes need and the impact of viticulture practices like the mechanical harvesting of grapes on the vineyards as well as possible “social implications” for workers on the farms and communities. I really enjoy the Wolfkloof shiraz, and must try the Constitution Road. I look forward to the next newletter. Cheers, Trevor

Hi there, With regards to the design of your new website, I think it is superb! It is very user-friendly, the pages load very quickly and there is a wealth of information. I particularly enjoy the pages with the photos from your past events as it makes the website and Robertson Winery a lot more personal to the general public! Thanks for your monthly news updates and your new superior website!Kind regards, Lisa

Gooday Robertsons, A very impressive website indeed. All the informative information at one's fingertips concerning one of the best wine producers in South Africa. I really enjoy your newsletters and am pleasantly surprised every time I read it, now a website on the offer - great stuff. Being a Robertsons wine lover it a pleasure to have so much information about my favourite wines and insight into the new ranges. Keep up the good work, with Robertsons you can't go wrong. Kenny Goslett

Regarding yr new Website - it is much Lighter in content of news and the topics, Brighter in ideas and personalities and more interesting in Wine developments and Entertainment. It is easier to read with the Layout being better structured and items of a more Local nature.There is also a Fun angle to it with the local stories being brought to the fore and also us readers being introduced to the colorful Robertson characters. It makes us feel even more "Part of the Valley Family ". Well done. Peter

Your webpage is absolutely dynamic and informative it has a bit of everything and I love the bit about getting to know who is who @ Robertsam wineries and it is also a lovely idea to have a recipe.
What would be nice is if you have your wine of the month or quarter and then tell us a bit about it. Gloria Ferreira

I am very impressed with your new website, it is subtle, artistic & I love the message of a "small town with a big heart". As a child we spent a few memorable holidays at the Aero Hotel, which is near Robertson. We spent many happy hours touring Robertson, Ashton, & of course the nearby Montagu, with it's mineral baths. So, good luck with the new logo! It's great. Sincerely, Yvonne Hurwitz.

Good morning, I have re visited your website and really impressed with the layout and feel of the site. I also like the history, our story up to today's vintages. A really good website as are Robertson wines.........keep up the good work. Cheers, Norman Brett

Comments about new website for Robertson Winery: Beautiful scenery and images, but please include more. It took some time for me to download each section. Can you include a section on recipes that compliment the wines? Thanks and well done. Warm regards, Michelle Dunn
