This SA wine estate was awarded top honours – and the next day it lost R470,000 to cable thieves
Plaisir de Merle estate, at the foot of Simonsberg Mountain, achieved distinctions in the latest Platter's Guide.
Two of its wines, a 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2016 Cape Bordeaux Red Blend, earned prestigious five-star ratings.
But celebrations at Plaisir de Merle were cut short, when, the very next day after the award's announcement, thieves stole 1km of electrical cable from the estate.
It cost the new owners R470,000 to replace.

“Antifreeze Wine”: The Scandal That Destroyed an Industry 08 February 2022 13:23 |

“Antifreeze Wine”: The Scandal That Destroyed an Industry
Austria is commonly associated with classical music or The Alps, but you may not know the country has a thriving wine industry. Small, artisan vintners produce relatively low quantities of wine when compared to their European neighbours – but this allows them to focus on quality, earning Austrian wine world renown. Wine critic, Jane MacQuitty, writing for The Times, describes:
“The vibrant, aromatic, terroir-influenced white wines from this small, landlocked country are increasingly sought-after by adventurous wine drinkers, and to judge from the thousand bottles on show it’s easy to see why”

From Artificial Intelligence To Prison Reform: Tuscan Wine Producer Revolutionizing The World
When it comes to wine from Tuscany, no other family holds more importance than the Frescobaldi family, now in their 30th generation of Frescobaldi Toscana that includes eight estates throughout Tuscany, only placing their wine focus on this much-beloved wine region of Italy. Undoubtedly, the family is still deeply connected to their remarkable history as a 1,000-year-old noble Florentine family as still many in the Frescobaldi family live in their Renaissance-style palazzo (palace) in the center of Florence in Tuscany. And although they are fiercely committed to guarding the land and culture of their home, they have been leading the way in revolutionizing wine communication as well as surprisingly advancing prison reform.
