Last night was the official launch of the Sumaridge Maritimus /N.S.R.I friendship. Holly Bellingham and Simon Turner, owners of Sumaridge wine estate have decided to donate R1 for every bottle of Maritimus produced. A cheque of R16 800 was handed over to Station 17 Hermanus.'We recognise and respect that while the maritime climate lends magic to our grapes - it puts others in peril. We are honoured to be able to do a little to help some very brave people help others,' said HollyA wonderful evening was enjoyed by all. We would again like to thank them for their generosity.
NSRI Hermanus Station Commander, Henk Henn, with Holly, Simon, Deon and NSRI CEO Dr Cleeve Robertson
