Hex Vines
Facilitating Vineyard Establishment
Table Grape Vine Maturing Facility
The Kleinberg vine maturing facility receives newly grafted, dormant vines from nurseries, stores them, treats them, grows and matures them, and in the growing process, shapes them into mature-stemmed, trained vines to enable simultaneous planting and trellising on behalf of growers and nurseries.
ROSENHOF NURSERY
Our Strategic Partner
Implementing the Danish Ellepot technology represented a significant breakthrough in the development of the facility. This was achieved through their cooperation with Rosenhof Nursery from Ceres, as Rosenhof Nursery manufactures and supplies Kleinberg with the Ellepot production systems. A formal working relationship and memorandum of understanding exists between Kleinberg Mature Vines and Rosenhof Nursery.

Francois Rossouw - Mooigezicht Estates
“This is truly a world-class facility, with state-of-the-art technology that will definitely add value for our industry’s growers. The uniform development of the vines and the specialised growing material that remains around the roots at planting are both significant improvements for planting new vineyards. When deciduous tree fruit producers plant their new orchards, they plant small trees with well-established root systems, and this facility will now make it possible for table grape growers to plant vines under similar improved conditions.”
Jaco Engelbrecht - Voor-Groenberg Nurseries
“The professional service offer and the proximity of this facility to many of our clients in the Hex River Valley and surrounds will definitely allow them to add value to the planting process for growers.”
