Die Ho\u00ebr Landbouskool Boland spog met baie eerstes in die land (en dalk die w\u00eareld) met onder meer twee hektaar wingerde wat skoolbesoekers agter wit ingange begroet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skoolhoof, Kobus Hartman, meen di\u00e9 wit mure, so tipies aan \u2019n wynplaas, dra die simboliek van hul wynkelder- drome in wording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie wingerde wat op die plaas te sien is aan die linkerkant van die plaaspad is teen groot risiko tydens die 2020-inperking en alkohol-verbod aangeplant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie gemeenskap het ons gewaarsku dat dit tot groot verliese kon lei, maar ons het toe deurgedruk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En op 25 Februarie vanjaar het al die seuns in die skool deelgeneem aan die pars, met minstens 12 ton druiwe wat uit hierdie twee hektaar geoes is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns beplan nou om \u2019n verdere twee hektaar merlot aan te plant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is \u2019n groter wingerd wat agter die skerms by die plaasskool groei, maar die klein wingerde by die ingang dien as die voorskou vir die wyn-visie se potensiaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Ho\u00ebr Landbouskool Boland-wynkelder se doel as \u2019n opleidingskelder is gegrond op landboubestuurspraktyke, wat van Januarie tot Desember vir die leerders geleer sal word hoe so \u2019n operasie werk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit sluit in wingerd- en mynbou\u00adkunde, hoe druiwe gesny en gepars word, alles te danke aan die bekwame kennis van hul landbou-onnie Schoeman du Preez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie droom is om dit te kan doen met die gebruik van ons eie wynkelder op die plaas,\u201d meen Hartman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graad 8- en 9-leerders kry \u2019n inleiding tot di\u00e9 studies deur die skool se aanbieding van landboustudies (tesame met die standaard-skoolkurrikulum). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van graad 10 tot matriek word keusevakke soos landbouwetenskappe, landboutegnologie en landboubestuurspraktyke aangebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelukkig was die grondslag van die doelwit alreeds daar in die vorm van die skool se ou melkery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ou melkstalle het leeg gestaan nadat die ou melkkoeie, oftewel kudde, ses jaar gelede uitgeslag moes word weens \u2019n siekte, besmetlike misgeboorte. Dis \u2019n baie aansteeklike siekte onder die kudde en die beheerliggaam het besluit om die melkery-planne te stuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie le\u00eb stalle was toe ideaal en in 2020 het ons die ou droom wan \u2019n wynskool weer aan die gang gekry. Voor my tyd was daar sulke ambisies, maar dit was baie selektief. Net \u2019n sekere groep seuns sou blootstelling kry en ekstra skoolfonds moes betaal,\u201d s\u00ea Hartman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe die idee weer hervat word, is die voorkant van die melkstal waar die botter gemaak is as die eerste opgraderingsfase bepaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is omskep in \u2019n multilokaal waar vergaderings, konferensies of kuiers gehou word met die gerief van \u2019n binne-braaiplek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wynkelder se multilokaal het al hope geleenthede gehuisves, van re\u00fcnies en boerevergaderings tot wynproewe, en op Vrydae word kos en wyn aan die ouers voorgesit wanneer die seuns kom haal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn samewerking met POREX, wat spesialiseer in die oprigting van wynkelders, het die skool al planne opgestel en kosteberamings gefinaliseer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hartman het mettertyd Danie Marais van Windmeul-kelder genader om meer wyn-wysheid te bekom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Windmeul-kelder behoort aan \u2019n netwerk van 32 lede waaraan die skool ook behoort. Onder di\u00e9 netwerk verskaf die Ho\u00ebr Landbouskool Boland sy druiweoeste aan Windmeul-kelder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDanie het toe aanbeveel dat ons eerder met die wynproduk begin. Dit sal beter wees as om te wag vir die kelder. Maak eers die wyn, verkoop dit aan \u2019n mark wat dan kan groei.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marais stem toe in en dis waarheen die landbouskool se druiwe gestuur word om gebottel te word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marais het wel die skool aangeraai om eers 300 kissies te produseer, maar Hartman het op 1 000 kissies aangedring, wat \u2019n 30%-chenin blanc- en 70% merlot\/cabernet sauvignon-versnit is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hartman haal \u2019n bottel van die rak af en wys die ryke simboliek wat die skool se sentimente op die etiket uitbeeld: \u201cVir die broers voor ons en die broers na ons bewaar ons mekaar die Landbouskool<\/i>. Met dit, tesame met die skoolwapen en ons leuse, wil ons graag die emosie onder die old boys<\/span> en die ouers ook aanwakker,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Di\u00e9 wyne is in die skool se plaasweek in September bekend gestel en Hartman getuig dat van die witwyn altesaam 1 800 bottels binne twee maande verkoop is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie wyn is tans winsgewend. En met die momentum saam met Vinpro wat aan ons deur geklop het, het ons \u2019n proefblok van 0,7 hektaar op die plaas geplant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHier is 40 kultivars van wit en rooi druiwe geplant om te toets hoe die druiwe hier sal vaar. Ses uit di\u00e9 kultivars is vir die eerste keer in die land op ons grond geplant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n So help die skool ook vir Vinpro om data oor die kultivars in te samel, gebaseer op die verskillende groei-praktyke wat die landbouskool in dieselfde asem aan die kinders kan voorhou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns is tans op soek na instansies en beleggers wat bereid sal wees om in die wynkelder te bel\u00ea sodat ons dit so gou as moontlik kan bou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cElke borg van die projek word deur die skool erken deur reklameborde wat bydraes toon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die hart van Boland Landbouskool se wynkelder l\u00ea egter nie in die verkoop van wyn nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns doel is om vir elke liewe seun, van gr. 8 tot 12, di\u00e9 geleentheid te bied om wynmaak te leer \u2013 en nie net vir \u2019n verkose minderheid nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Ho\u00ebr Landbouskool Boland spog met baie eerstes in die land (en dalk die
