The Vanishing Point

I have an age problem. First of all, 38 years of tasting young wines has conditioned me to their charms – their energy, their freshness. Second, there’s little point in my buying wines that will take 20 years to mature. I might be dead by then.

COOL CLIMATE SOUTH AFRICA: PAUL CLUVER'S JOURNEY FROM APPLES TO PINOT NOIR

Elgin is a large, lush area of land, circled by mountains, in the Overberg region of South Africa. This broad upland valley lies about 45 miles southeast of Cape Town. It is an inland plateau, naturally defined by the surrounding mountains. Elevations ranging from 850 feet to 2,000 feet above sea level result in cool temperatures. The Elgin Valley is one of the more intensively farmed districts of South Africa and produces 60% of the national apple crop. Consequently it is now internationally known as the place in South Africa “where the apples come from.”

Should South Africa produce terroir-driven wines?

Should South Africa produce terroir-driven wines?

The importance of regional ties to the climate, soil and grape varieties is at the heart of terroir. The ‘somewhereness’ of wine as a holistic result of nature and nurture has led to the wine of origin and a potent marketing tool of wine globally. The French have owned this marketing approach as it created a valuable brand association with fine wines.


Could this work for Brand South Africa and should South African wine producers focus on terroir-driven wines per region?

Laura Catena on growing, preserving & understanding Argentine wines

If there is a more respected and liked figure in the global wine industry than Laura Catena then I am yet to meet them. If her father, Nicolás, is widely regarded for putting Argentine wine on the world map, then Dr Laura Catena is more than ready to take it to the next generation. She has already established herself as a leading voice not just on Bodega Catena Zapata wines, but on exploring, investigating and finding the most sustainable and climate proof places to make wine for all producers across Argentina. Here in this wide ranging video interview Richard Siddle talks to her about her vision and plans for Catena, helping to raise the quality and prestige of Argentine wines internationally and managing a business through Covid-19.

A study of regionality in Australian Pinot noir wines demonstrates that NMR and ICP-MS could be used to detect wine fraud

Wine quality and character depends in part on the environment the grapes are grown in, referred to as ‘terroir’: “Wine, according to its terroir, will have a particular taste that is associated with the soil, geology, topography, and climate where the vineyard is located” (Barnard 2016, pp. 14–15). This means the environment can influence the metabolome (metabolic patterns) of a wine. “Wine can be described as a molecular kaleidoscope integrating signatures from grapes, yeasts, the winemaking and the environment” (Roullier-Gall et al. 2014, p. 100).

Flashback: Malbec & Maradona

Diego Maradona was more than just a great football player, the best of his generation by many accounts — the best ever according to some. He and his complicated life meant a great deal more to people in Argentina and around the world, so his recent death at age 60 had greater meaning, too.

This book review from 2012, which links Malbec, Argentina’s signature grape variety, with Diego Maradona, has been getting renewed attention among Wine Economist readers, so I thought I’d re-publish it as a “flashback” column today.
