Mo Aforika Borwa, mofutapeo o o kwadisitsweng o jaaka ‘Roussanne’.

Tsweletso mo Aforika Borwa

Tse di dirilweng go tshwana le yona di raopilwe ka 2000 ke Simon Barlow wa Rustenberg kwa Stellenbosch yo gape e le ena wa go dira veine ya ntlha ya mefuta. Go ka nna 75ha ya Roussanne e ne ya jalwa mo Aforika Borwa kwa ntle le mo dikgaolong tsa kwa Kapa Bokone, Robertson le Worcester. Go jala go go bonalang go akaretsa Paarl (27ha) Malmesbury (16ha) le Stellenbosch (11ha).

Kgolo

Roussanne e tlhoka maemo a loapi a letsatsi a a omileng go butswa botlhelele e bile ke monntsha kuno yo o ditlhong (6-8 ditono/ha) lefa e le ka fa tlase ga maemo a a ntseng sentle a kgolo. Ke mofutapeo o o nang le tiro e e tseneletseng. Kwa California go ne ga fitlhelwa gore diterebe di bosisi go marang a letsatsi mme go fokotsa matlhare gore a nne masesane go netefatsa gore go na le kamego ya marang go diako tsotlhe go thusitse go tokafatsa le go butswisa.
Go butswa ga Roussanne go go farologaneng go kaya gore go tshwanetse gore kgetliwe makgetlo a le mantsi. – go kutulwa ka diatla ke gona go go ratwang. Mefuta e na le go butswa ka bokgoni jo bo kwa godimo jwa nnotagi. Ka jalo go botlhokwa go laola diteng tsa nnotagi ya veine.

Diveine tse di dirilweng go tswa mo diterebeng tsa Roussanne di kwadilwe ka ga monko wa tsona o o tseneletseng.
E kotulwa go sa le gale ka disukiri tse fokoditsweng, diveine di sa ntse di na le mmele o o siameng le fa di ka tlogelwa go butswa go feta, e tshwara maemo a bogalaka a a siameng. Roussanne ga se ya mefuta e e boungwa thata. Ke itumelelwa that ka go nna mafurana le phopholego mme ponalo ke ya bo pepere gantsi e kwadilwe. Nko e ka nna Boboatsatsi ka dinako tse dingwe, di bontsha ponalo ya bopeinapole le monko o fetang wa Lily kgotsa dithunya tse di tlhaga.
