Wine as natural as asphalt. Enz...

Met marketing worden zaken mooier voorgesteld dan ze in werkelijkheid zijn. Maar dit slaat door. Vooral die hond die likt...

Is this the best wine in the world? An app with 35 million subscribers says so.

What’s the best wine in the world? Every winemaker would love to produce it. Every wine lover would love to drink it and hoard a few bottles in the cellar. Every wine writer would love to anoint it and tell you to buy it.

The HoseMaster of Wine™ Solves The Enduring Mysteries of Wine
02 April 2019 12:02
Wine is more mysterious than the success of Andrew Lloyd Webber, the Yellow Tail of musical theater composers. It’s more mysterious than North Korean FaceBook. Wine has more secrets than auction houses have fake wines, or R. Kelly has fake tears. Wine is more perplexing than Brexit (short for Brextannomyces, which causes a distinct sulfurous smell). Wine befuddles us like nothing else, except maybe IKEA instructions. In short, everyone knows nothing about wine. Especially people with letters after their names. What are those WSET, CSW, MS, MW things? Surname dingleberries?

Black wine makers, professionals have arrived in South Africa
12 July 2019 17:45
Of all my field research of wine regions around the world no area has affected me more deeply than South Africa. The post-apartheid wine industry is more complex, nuanced, and fascinating than the best examples of its Pinotage and certainly other sectors of Africa’s largest economy. Even more compelling, the struggle, revitalization, and promise weave a complicated yet inspiring narrative that parallels issues we are facing within our own borders.

SA Wine History: A few Steenberg surprises (Part 1-2)
13 June 2019 10:08
After all the drama and intrigue of the Christina Ustings story, is Steenberg’s next chapter a bit of an anti-climax? Far from it, in my opinion.

SA wine history: The first Stellenbosch wine farms

As discussed last month, Steenberg claims to be ‘the Cape’s first farm’ with a founding date of 1682, yet this is also the founding date claimed by both Rustenberg and Blaauwklippen in Stellenbosch. I thought I’d pay them a visit back in time…

SA Wine History: The ‘excellent model’ of Alto Rouge
13 August 2019 17:26
Tasting for the annual Platter’s guide has reached a crescendo over the past few weeks, impacting on my free hours to poke around the archives for very early wine industry stories. The launch of the 2019 Signature Red Blend Report, however, sparked my curiosity to go back a mere century or so – to take a look at Alto Rouge, which happens to be celebrating its 100th birthday this year.

Bhutan Wine Company Plants the First Vineyards in the Kingdom of Bhutan
17 May 2019 18:12
LOS ANGELES, May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bhutan Wine Company (BWC) made international news headlines when it planted the first vineyards in the Kingdom of Bhutan. After years of research, analysis and planning, the BWC worked with Sunridge Nurseries in California and governmental officials, local business leaders and other key stakeholders in Bhutan to identify and plant the first five vineyards in the country, widely believed to be the last completely untapped viable wine region in the world. The five initial vineyards were planted with nine international varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Petit Manseng.

SA Wine History: What were the best wines after Constantia?

In my last column, which looked at Napoleon’s fondness for vin de Constance (Constantia wine), I referred to pioneering wine critic André Jullien’s encyclopaedic Topographie de Tous les Vignobles Connus (first published in 1816) which described the wines coming from Groot and Hoop op Constantia as ‘some of the best liqueur wines in the world’.
