The Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform, Mr. Gugile Nkwinti is to launch a wine estate that is part of the policy on Strengthening the Relative Rights of People Working the Land (50/50)  policy the Western Cape  on Saturday 10 December.

The Solms-Delta Wine Estate operates a wine production business in the Franschhoek area outside Cape Town, on a property measuring 54 hectares.

The farm workers as well as the farm dwellers through the formation of the Wijn de Caab Trust, share equal ownership together with established wine farmers Mark Solms (Zandvliet-Delta Farming (Pty) Ltd) and Richard Astor (Lubeck-Delta Ltd).


The launch and handover ceremony will take place at:

Venue:           Solms-Delta Wine Estate, Franschhoek
