Hierdie is beslis nie een van daai “die volgende groot wyndruif!”-artikels nie. Mense drink al hoe meer grolleau, en dis so eenvoudig soos dit.

Is wyn gesond? Om hierdie vraag te kan beantwoord, moet mens kyk na wat in die glas is. 85% GOED: Jou glas bevat hoofsaaklik water, antosianien (’n anti-oksidant) en polifenole (insluitende tanniene en resveratrol). Al hierdie bestanddele het hulself reeds bewys as goed vir jou. 15% SLEG: Die agterb …
In recent years, more and more vineyards have sought to differentiate themselves, not only with their wines or their packaging, but also with their architecture and design.

Th …
Wanneer ek aan grenache dink, kom Châteauneuf-du-Pape (wat nuwe chateau van die pous beteken) en Provence onvermydelik in my kop op. Hoekom? Wel, dié wêreldbekende handelsmerk is onder meer ’n rooi versnit wat deur grenache noir gedryf word, terwyl hierdie kultivar ook ’n hoofrol speel in Provence s …
“We were surprised by the diversity of the vineyards in the valley and believe that this diversity makes the Franschhoek Wine Valley an even more interesting place for winemakers.

Afrikaans is darem ’n wonderlike taal! In Engels mag mens net van Champagne praat as die vonkelwyn uit die Champagne-streek van Frankryk kom, maar hier aan die suidpunt van Afrika kan niemand ons hof toe sleep as ons na ons eie Méthode Cap Classique (of MCC) as sjampanje verwys nie. En net so terloo …

Wanneer wynliefhebbers aan ’n wynkelder dink, kom die beeld van hope vate netjies op mekaar gestapel onwillekeurig in die kop op. En ja, die reuk van wyndeurdrenkte eikehoutvate met hul warm, geroosterde houtgeure. Daar bestaan egter baie “geheime” rondom eikehout en wyn. Waarvoor word die vate gebr …
After a visit to three of Burgundy’s top pinot noir producers last year and five of our own in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley early this year, and falling in love all over again with this “most romantic of wines”, I simply had to find out if there were any other local producers of quality pinot noir wine …
Die skakel tussen wyn en reis het oor die afgelope klompie jare al hoe sterker geword, hoofsaaklik danksy die wêreld se toenemende dors na wyn. Daar word beraam dat 15 miljoen Amerikaanse reisigers in 2014 op wynverwante reise gegaan het. En die inkomste uit wyntoerisme in die VSA het tussen 10 en 1 …
