AJEWELOFAWINE FARM

Miravel

wineestate

for sale

The Oxford Dictionary describes

a jewelas somethingpreciousof

fine and enduring value.

This maxim applies perfectly to

Miravel, an exquisite and special

winefarmwhichisexclusivelymar-

keted by Leapfrog Gordons Bay for

R22,5 million. Miravel is a

superlative wine farm in the cradle

of the Helderberg mountains with

sea views from almost every van-

tage point on its 39,30 hectare do-

main.

The homestead and adjacent Fyn-

bos Cottage (a fully functional and

profitable self-catering cottage) of-

fers consummate country living

around the swimming pool and

manicured garden.

Both homes reflect the taste and

application to detail of the owners,

MaartenandJaninevanBeuningen

who have developed Miravel into a

breathtaking property.

The four-bedroomhome compris-

es 450 m under a double-volume

thatch roof, with two en suite bath-

rooms, huge open plan kitchen, din-

ing room and a separate lounge. An

upstairs study and lounge compli-

ments the lounge area which opens

to a veranda and large, one hectare

garden. A manicured garden sur-

rounds the homestead, with auto-

matic sprinkler system and sepa-

rate brick garden shed to house gar-

den implements.

Adjacent to the main house is the

delightful 80 m Fynbos Cottage

which features a separate entrance

for guests arriving for short term

rentals. The cottage is as large as a

conventional house, featuring two

bedrooms with en suite bathroom

and a spacious living-dining area

with fireplace.

Miravel Farm has enjoyed six

consecutive seasons of successful

wine production, including the

farms flagship Sauvignon Blanc,

Family Blend 1952 and Family Re-

serve Ella wines. Miravel also pro-

duces outstandingMerlot, Pinotage

andPetit Verdotwines. The success

of the farmsgrapeandwineproduc-

tion can be ascribed to the dedica-

tion to scientific vineyard practices

by owner Maarten van Beuningen,

manager Francois Hanekom of

Winelands Estate Management

(WEM) and viticulturist Paul Wal-

lace. Six percent of the farms annu-

al 160 ton crop output is retained to

bottle theMiravelbrand(6 5008 000

bottles per annum), while the re-

maining crop is outsourced to other

cellars, wineries and winemakers.

Any new owners of Miravel will

have the choice of farming them-

selves or utilising the services of

WEM, which supplies all the man-

agement and labour activities for

theproductiveoperationofthevine-

yards as no farm workers reside on

the property.

The farm has abundant water

fromtheTheewaterskloofdam(25%

of 80 000 m), a storage dam (40% of

30 000m) and a borehole for domes-

tic use. Almost ninety percent

(24 83 ha) of land under vine (21 70

ha) is irrigated, resulting in superb

quality grapes and crops. Addition-

al facilities include a pump station

with two pumps and sand filters, in-

dependent irrigation reticulation, a

drill and equipment borehole with

supply line and filtration system,

Eskom supplied electricity (includ-

ing step up and down transformers)

and cables to the homestead and

pump stations.

Precedent for rezoning and con-

sent use, granted by the Stellen-

bosch Municipality, of a portion of

the farmasa leisureandvenue facil-

ity exists and could be renewed

should the new owners wish to pur-

sue this option. The elevated por-

tions of the farm have uninterrupt-

ed views of the ocean and on a clear

day the whole False Bay features as

background, completing a kaleido-

scope canvas of unprecedented

beauty.

Leapfrog Gordons Bay principal

Kevin Wearing believes that Mira-

vel farm will appeal to winemakers

who want to produce their own

brand of wine or to ownerswho just

want to enjoy retirement and the

Stellenboschwinelandsexperience.

Determining the value of a jewel

such as Miravel is not too difficult

because it offers everything a new

owner could hope for. All the facili-

tiesare first-rate, the twohousesare

in mint condition and the location

is unbeatable. Who wouldnt want

to own a Stellenbosch wine farm

like this? concludes Wearing.

A tourof the farmrevealshowMi-

ravel estate has benefited from

Maarten van Beuningens lifetime

experience in the farming industry

in Zimbabwe and South Africa. The

farm focuses on sound viticultural

practises which translates into

quality grape production and pre-

mium wines. It is, in short, a won-

derful farm. To arrange a viewing

Mustanoffer topurchase

be inwriting?

Perhaps youve seen a property that you

like and youre considering making an of-

fer. Youve got an idea of themarket value,

and youd like tomake an offer to see if its

acceptable to the seller.

Is it possible tomake a verbal of-

fer just to reach agreement on

price?

In South African law only writ-

ten offers are legal and binding. So

it is possible to ask the agent to en-

quire of the seller if theywould ac-

cept a certainprice.But even if the

seller says he will accept the offer,

it is non-binding and means abso-

lutely nothing in law. If another

buyer were to come along with a

written offer for more then seller

would be fully entitle to accept it.

The Estate Agents Code of Con-

ductrequires thatanagentpresent

only written offers to the seller.

There are some very good reasons

why you should reduce your offer to writing,

rather than just a verbal agreement. Lets con-

sider them:

) A verbal offer is non-binding so either

party candecidenot to proceed should theynot

want to.

) A verbal offer may not cover all the other

conditions of sale that could have a significant

impact on both buyer and seller. These include

transfer and occupation dates, occupational

rental, financerequirements,depositamounts,

suspensive conditions, fixtures and fittings,

and so on. Its vital that these issues are ad-

dressed in an offer, and a verbal offer simply

wont do this.

)Variances inmemory and understanding.

Whatonepartyremembersanothermayforget,

or have a different understanding.

) Credibility. Just how credible is an offer

where the buyer is not prepared to put it in

writing?

Inmanycasesabuyerofferslessthanthesell-

er is asking. If an agent were to go to a seller

and ask if they would consider a lower selling

price, therequesthasnosubstance.Whywould

a seller agree to a lower selling price without

acommitmentfromapurchaserto

pay the lower amount?

However, if the purchaser is se-

rious about buying the property

andtheymakeawrittenoffer,then

theagentcanpresentittotheseller

and the seller will be in a position

togive theofferhis seriousconsid-

eration.

The seller will be able to calcu-

late such things as the time value

of money in other words, what

he will net from the sale, and how

much this will mean to him in

terms of a saving on interest paid,

rental, insurance, rates and taxes,

and so on.

When both parties sign and ac-

ceptanoffertopurchaseinwritingit isalegally

binding contract. Whilst this comes with cer-

tainresponsibilitiesandcommitments,itbinds

both parties to an agreement. There is comfort

that comes from knowing what has been

agreed, and when the transfer and possession

will takeplace. Itallowseveryonetomaketheir

arrangements around the agreement.

This is a much better way to sell real estate

and benefits all parties. Be grateful you dont

have to sell property in England, where a con-

tract is not binding on either party andone can

gazump the other cancel for no reason, or

threaten to cancel if the terms are not changed

in their favor right up until the last minute.

So, ifyouareseriousaboutbuyingaproperty

make your offer inwriting and stand your best

chance of the seller considering it.

JAPAN : SUBARU BRANDKEEPSGROWING

Subarus FujiHeavy Industries turns60

QUICKPIC

Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.

(FHI), themakerofSubaruvehi-

cles, is pleased to announce that

July marks the 60th anniversa-

ry of the company.

The origins of FHI go back to the

1917 founding of the aircraft re-

search laboratory which was later

incorporated as Nakajima Air-

craft Co. Ltd. After World War II,

Nakajima Aircraft was re-organ-

ized as Fuji Sangyo Co. Ltd.

Fuji Sangyo was divided into

twelve separate companies in 1950

and shortly thereafter, on 15 July

1953, five of those companies

merged to form Fuji Heavy Indus-

tries Ltd.

In 1958, FHI flew the first Ja-

pan-made T-1 jet trainer test

plane and released theSubaru

360 mini car.

Throughout its history, FHI

has continued to deliver inno-

vative technologies and

unique, epoch-making prod-

ucts such as the Subaru 1000,

Japans first mass-produced

front-engined, front-wheel

drive car; the Subaru Leone,

Japans first mass-produced all-

wheel drive passenger car; the

Subaru Legacy which led the sta-

tionwagon boom in Japan; and the

EyeSight driving assist system.

The companys technological

isproudtoannouncethatthenew

Jaguar F-TYPE reached show-

rooms recently, heralding a re-

turn to the companysheartland:

a two-seater, convertible sports

carfocusedonperformance,agil-

ity and driver involvement.

One of the most eagerly awaited

introductions of the decade, the F-

TYPE distils the essence of a long

line of sports cars dating back to

1938 into a thoroughly modern in-

terpretation of what the marque

represents. With a trio of models

all featuringsuperchargedengines

and lightweight aluminium archi-

tecture, performance remains at

the forefront ofwhat Jaguar offers,

while modern technology make it

more accessible than ever.

Sports Suspension is fitted to all

three models, the two S versions

addingJaguarAdaptiveDynamics

and a locking differential, the ver-

sion on the V8 S an electronically-

controlled active type. The alu-

minium body is, at just 261 kilo-

grams exceptionally light but also extremely

rigid. This has allowed the fitment of the

quickest steering rack ever on a Jaguar, pro-

viding outstanding response.

The F-TYPE is powered by Jaguars new

3.0 F V6 in 250 kW/450 Nm form, increasing

to 280 kW/460 Nm for the F-TYPE S and

364 kW/625 Nm for the F-TYPEV8S. The flag-

ship F-TYPEV8 S is powered by a 5.0 F engine

based on the same mechanical architecture.

Thethreeenginesall interfacewithan8-speed

Quickshift close-ratio automatic gearbox, all

featuring a paddle shift function tomaximise

driver involvement.

Headline performance figures for theV8 in-

clude a 0 - 100 km/h sprint in 4,3 seconds and

an electronically limited top speed of 300km/

h. Acceleration between 80 to 120 km/h takes

a mere 2,5 seconds.

CO emissions are 278 g/km.

The braking system of each model differs

in linewith theperformance capabilities, and

the V8 S is fitted with 380 mm/376 mm venti-

lated discs front and rear respectively. Simi-

larly, wheel diameter and tyrewidth and pro-

file increasethefurtheralongthepowercurve

one travels, with an 18-inch alloy shod with

245/45 rubber the startingpoint.Awiderange

of alloys measuring up to 20 inches in diame-

ter are offered as optional equipment.

As the spiritual successor to the E-TYPE,

a car which set the standards in its day as far

as sheer visual presence is concerned, the

newcomer encapsulates the assertive newde-

sign language of the brand. Jaguars have al-

ways defined sinuous, muscular simplicity

and the F-TYPE is no exception.

Taking inspiration from the C-X16 concept

unveiled in 2011, the front of the F-TYPE fea-

tures a new interpretation of the bold angular

Jaguar grille from which flows the muscular

clamshell bonnet with its signature power

bulge. Bi-xenon headlamp

and integral LED daytime

running lights are thor-

oughly modern touches,

while the muscular rear

haunchandsensual, lowtail

are Jaguar sports car hall-

marks. A deployable rear

spoiler adds 120 kg rear

downforce, for exceptional-

ly stable high speed cruis-

ing.

Thecabins driver-centric

focus is highlighted by the

one plus one layout and a

grab handle sweeps down

the centre console on the

passenger side, delineating

it from the drivers position.

This is reinforced by the use

of different trim materials

either side of the cabin,with

a more technical finish on

the drivers side. Taking in-

spiration from cockpits of

fighter airplanes, the con-

trols are ergonomically

grouped by function.

The choice of a fabric

(available in one of four col-

ours) top rather than a fold-

ing metal one was deliberate, as it not only

represents a significantweight saving but op-

timises packaging and helps maintain a low

centre of gravity for greater agility. The hood

itself can be fully raised or lowered in just 12

seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h.

The F-TYPE is a continuation of a sporting

bloodline that stretches back more than 75

yearsandencompassessomeofthemostbeau-

tiful, thrilling and desirable cars ever built.

It complements the existing Jaguar model

line-up to provide a range of premium cars

which represent the best of their respective

market segments.

The braking system of each Jaguar F-TYPE model differs in line with the performance capabilities, and the V8 S is fitted

with 380 mm/376 mm ventilated discs front and rear respectively. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

Tough just got tougher as ToyotaMotor-

sportSouthAfricaannouncedanewlook

teamtokickstart theirDakarRallycam-

paign in preparation for the worlds

toughest race in January 2014.

Dakar champions Giniel de Villiers and

Dirk von Zitzewitz will return for the 2014

race and this year theywill be joinedbyToy-

ota racers Leeroy Poulter (driver) and navi-

gator Rob Howie.

Constructionof thefirstof twoall-newrac-

ing Toyota Hilux 4x4s has commenced in

ToyotaMotorsportsBarbecueDownswork-

shop near Kyalami. The Toyota Imperial

South Africa Teamwill return to the Namib

Desert near Walvis Bay at the beginning of

August for four days of testing in the sand

dunes with the 2013 Toyota Hilux in which

Giniel deVilliers andDirkvonZitzewitz fin-

ished second in this years Dakar Rally.

TheHiluxhasshownitsmettle inthepast

twoDakarralliesandhavemountedastrong

charge for the top of the podium.We believe

the youthful energy of Leeroy, and the expe-

rience of Giniel will combine to make a

strong team in 2014, says CalvynHamman,

Senior Vice President of Sales and Market-

ing at Toyota South Africa Motors.

Knowthatyoucarrytheheartsandhopes

of all South Africans with you on the back

of your Hilux.

De Villiers and Von Zitzewitz, winners of

the Dakar Rally in 2009, will reunite for the

first time since their heroics inSouthAmer-

ica in January to begin their preparations

for their third Dakar together in the all

SouthAfrican teamandthe locally-built and

developed racing Toyota Hilux.

After finishing third inToyotaSouthAfri-

ca Motors first attempt at the worlds long-

est and toughest motorsport event in 2012

and second last year, the Toyota Imperial

South Africa Team will attempt to win the

iconic event in what would be a major coup

for South African motorsport.

The team will again enjoy the backing of

Toyota SouthAfricaMotors and SouthAfri-

can companies the Imperial Toyota Group,

Duxbury Netgear, the Innovation Group

and Toyota Financial Services.

The Dakar Rally is a huge challenge and

we must be realistic about our chances of

winning, said team principal Glyn Hall.

Just to complete the 8 500kmroute through

two countries over 14 days, with its 13 timed

special stages, is an achievement. We are

veryproudof ourpodiumfinishes in the last

two events and we will be aiming to finish

on the podiumagain.Awinwould be a great

reward for the whole team and for its spon-

sors.

The 2014 Dakar Rally starts in Rosario in

ArgentinaonJanuary5andends in theChil-

ean city of Valparaiso on January 18. There

will be seven special stages in Argentina as

well as a rest day in Salta on January 11.

Chilewill host six special stages. Themotor-

cycle competitorswill also have amarathon

stage and an overnight stop in Peru.

CommentingonthenewDakarHilux,Hall

ent rear suspension and would incorporate

er. We will be taking into account every-

thingwe have learnt on the past twoDakars

aswell as lookingathowwecanobtain some

more power.

The rules require that you use a produc-

tion engine from the manufacturers stable

and while the 5F, normally aspirated V8 in

our racing Hilux has done a great, trouble-

free job to date, we are looking at ways we

canbemorecompetitive in termsofoutright

charged cars, Hall added.

FRANS LE ROUX

If you are reading this, I would

advise you to sit down. The news

I am about to break might just

shock you, or even worse, make

you faint in disbelief. But, bare

with me, this is worth it.

Hyundai has made a sexy, sporty

andmildly desirable coupe. Yes, the

first word to that sentence is cor-

rect. I indeed uttered the word Hy-

undai. I know, when I returned the

car to Hyundai Paarl after a few

days of testing I reluctantly handed

the keys back to the salesman.

I am off course referring to Hy-

undais new Veloster.

Barring the Tiburon, this is the

mostexcitingcar toroll off theKore-

angiantsassemble line inyears.Un-

fortunately the Veloster is only

available in a docile 1.6 F four cylin-

der engine.

But, likethoseirritatingcommer-

cials on TV, there is more.

Hyundai will answer the call of

those desperate petrolheads in

SouthAfrica,whoareonlyafter one

thingpower.TheVelosterwill also

receiveamuchneeded turbo,which

willbestrapped to its 1.6 Fmill.This

turbo will boost power towards the

140 kW range.

Letsgetbacktothecurrentmodel

on sale. You can have it in a 6-speed

manual (which I prefer) or with a

automatic dual clutch system. The

price starts at R265 900.

The engine pushes out a decent

103 kWwith the torque figure being

slightly low at 167 Nm. Bearing in

mind that this is anaturallyaspirat-

ed motor, it does rev freely. The

redline is reached at about 6 500

rpm, and the Veloster is eager and

happy to chase it every time. Accel-

eration toa 100 km/h is claimed just

below 9 seconds and it runs out of

puff near 210 km/h.

How is it to drive then? Well in

short, rather good. I drove close to

400 km on varying road surfaces.

Wet and dry tarmac, long straights

and off course some corners. The

cornerswereprovidedby themajes-

tic Franschhoek pass and Dutoits-

kloof.

TheVelosterdoes its jobofgetting

around corners quiet well. No fuss,

no tyre screeching, good front end

grip and general satisfactory road

manners. Even with the traction

switched off, I still felt in control as

I pushed harder into corners.

Another trick thisVelosterhasup

its sleeve, is its three door configu-

ration. On the drivers side, there is

one door, and you could be forgiven

if you think this is a normal coupe.

However, on the left side, Hyundai

ran out of crazy pills and added a

door.Sothat's twodoorsonthepave-

ment/sidewalk side. The Veloster

claims to be a three door 2+1 coupe,

with space for four adults. If you are

lucky enough to sit in front, stay

there. The rear is far less comforta-

ble due to the dramatically sloped

roof. Passengers above 1,7m tall

wont be too happy on longer jour-

neys.

The rest of the interior has a cer-

tain sporty appeal. Hyundai used

good quality soft-touch leather and

plastic.

The silver accents on the dash,

adds somewelcome colour.A stand-

ard 7-inch multimedia display

screen sits nicely in the middle of

the centre console. It works with a

mixture of switches and touch-

screen interface. The boot (440F) is

pretty useful considering the cars

overall size.

Standard features are impressive

for a car in this price bracket.At the

rear, a reverse camera and park as-

sist makes parking a breeze. You

need these aids though, visibility

through the rear-viewmirror is not

that great thanks to the glass boot

lid obstructing your view.

The Veloster is in my opinion a

sexy car. Low slung coupe body,

wide stance, 18-inch alloys and an

in-your-face dual exhaust system at

the back just adds to its appeal.

Rivals include the likes of the Re-

nault Megane Coupe, Mini Cooper

and even Volkswagens Scirocco.

Hyundai offers a comprehensive

5 year/150 000 km manufacturer

warranty and a 5 year /90 000km

service plan on their Veloster.

To conclude then, the Veloster as

its available at themoment is a good

car. It is a good buy and there is cer-

tainlya levelofdesirability thatooz-

es from this Hyundai. But if speed

and performance is your thing, I

wouldsuggest thatyouwaitacouple

of months for the much anticipated

Veloster Turbo.

If money is no object, I would ad-

vise a test drive. Personally I cant

wait to get my hands on one.

From every angle the Veloster demands a second look. Do yourself a favour, visit your nearest Hyundai dealer

and test drive one. PHOTO: QUICKPIC
