2016, Tokara Winery in Stellenbosch, South Africa, defied flames from forest fires thanks to investment in firefighting capability after the last fire in 2009. Included installing water hydrants every 100 m around the perimeters of Tokara´s vineyards. "The mountain was ablaze, but we were able to fend off the fire. We could have lost 3 - 4 ha like we did in 2009 when we also had smoke damage. This year we had none" Miles Mossop, Tokara´s winemaker
