What people say
Why Brew cru
We are friends first and foremost. We are serious about quality wine though, but do not necessarily take ourselves that serious. “Brew cru” is a double-barrel pun we suppose…”Brew” may mean “fermentation” (converting grape juice into wine, literally), which sounds exactly like the Afrikaans slang “Bru” – a loving, abbreviated form of “brother” or “broer” (Afrikaans) which basically is a “really good friend”. As for “cru” – may be a vintage (French), or even a special vintage. It also sounds exactly like “crew”, which is what we are – a team living and loving wine!
Both our Elgin and Walker Bay vineyards share a common theme in that they are grown in extreme conditions as far as ideal textbook viticulture goes.
These hardened landscapes with constant gusts of Atlantic Sea wind contribute to a cooler climate and it is these same persistent cooling winds that aid in disease prevention by keeping the grapes dry, allowing for extended ripening periods and consequently keeping the yields low resulting in to small, intensely flavoured berries with great winemaking potential.
