Sagte, botteragtige fudge. Net die gedagte laat mens se mond water. Voeg nou die borrel-byt van Polkadraai-vonkelwyn by en jy het ’n feestelike partytjie in die mond. Hierdie vrolike Fizz & Fudge-ervaring is ‘n opwindende nuwe pasmaat-extravaganza wat tot einde Februarie by Stellenbosch Hills be …
All relationships start with a greeting, and the warmer and more welcoming the greeting, the better the chances of a good, strong and long-lasting relationship. The Zulu word kunjani is such a warm and welcoming greeting. And at Kunjani Wines in the Bottelary Hills outside Stellenbosch, this simple …
Anthonij Rupert Wyne in die Franschhoek-vallei omskep vanjaar se Valentynsdag in ’n maandlange viering van die liefde. Tydens Februarie kan besoekers aan dié bekroonde wynlandgoed in die natuurskone vallei ’n komplimentêre proe van sy rosé-wyne geniet. Proe en ervaar enige van die landgoed se rosé-s …
Lamb mince is usually ground from boneless leg of lamb and is therefore more expensive than most other mince options, but oh so tasty. The best you can do is to stretch it by using it as a topping for tortillas alongside a few other basic additions like hummus, fresh herbs and creamy yogurt, to turn …
Daar is ‘n hernieude energie in die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf, terwyl dit ‘n nuwe wending neem na ‘n lang afwaartse siklus. Nou, meer as ooit, moet wyndruifprodusente eienaarskap van hul toekoms neem en die beskikbare geleenthede, inligting en vennootskappe benut om ‘n volhoubare toekoms te verseker …
I love grilling, and BBQ. There are literally hundreds of variations on all of your all-time favorite recipes, which makes recommending wines to pair with BBQ and grilled foods even more challenging than usual. There are so many things to take into consideration — ranging from spice levels to intens …
Baie van die tydlose Stellenbosse cabernet sauvignons van die 50s, 60s en 70s het ’n geheime bestanddeel gedeel. Cinsault is in hierdie wyne versteek, sonder enige vermelding op die etiket, en het die elegansie en parfuumgeure aan dié klassieke Kaapse wyne verleen. Ongelukkig is hierdie edel rooi ku …
Regarded as one of the country’s leading wine producers, Paul Cluver Wines has once again been acknowledged by the South African & Cellar Classifications as one of the most highly rated wine producers of the Cape over the past 10 years. The estate is one of only two producers in the Elgin Wine V …
A lot of us have done this. Holding up a glass of wine to our nose and smelling the Pandora’s box of different wine aromas and wondering where these aromas come from? Are there lemons and lime in my Pinot Grigio, and have they put plums and raspberries in my Merlot? Wine is only made from one ingred …
Almal het ‘n gunsteling-kerriegereg! Om jou gunsteling met ’n gepaste wyn te geniet, kan egter ’n uitdaging wees. Die speseryagtige geure van Indiese kos vind nie maklik pasmaats by rooiwyn nie, hoewel die ligter styl Beaujolais (van gamay-druiwe uit Boergondië in Frankryk), rooies uit die Loire-val …
Wine is one of the most diverse products out there. Not only are there reds and whites (and rosés and sparkling varieties), but each wine also has a constellation of flavors and characteristics. Dry, sweet, full-bodied, light, and notes of just about anything you can imagine (apple and tobacc …
Februarie is oestyd in die wynlande en die perfekte tyd vir vate vol pret vir die hele gesin by Grande Provence se jaarlikse Oesfees wat vanjaar op Saterdag, 23 Februarie, buite Franschhoek aangebied word. Maak gereed vir ‘n dag van druiwepluk en -trap vir oud en jonk teen die maat van die Kaapse Kl …
The name pinot noir is derived from the French words for pine and black. The word pine alludes to the grape variety having tightly clustered, pine cone-shaped bunches of fruit. Pinot noir grapes are grown around the world, mostly in the cooler climates, and the grape is chiefly associated with the B …
Wanneer mens van die handelsmerk Hill&Dale praat, kom die name Stellenzicht en Guy Webber onvermydelik op. Dit was per slot van sake die charismatiese Webber wat vir hierdie handelsmerk verantwoordelik was toe hy destyds wynmaker en keldermeester op Stellenzicht was. Dit was in 2001, en die eers …
As one of South Africa’s leading port producers, De Krans Private Cellar’s commitment to producing a world class product has yet again been acknowledged by the South African Wine & Cellar Classifications which saw the award-winning Klein Karoo estate being recognized as one of the two most succe …
This summer, until the end of February, wine and food lovers can explore interesting and unusual wines through the prism of macarons, the dainty confection that shares an Italian heritage with the celebrated Helderberg winery Idiom which overlooks False Bay. It is not widely known that macarons have …
Onder die 149 platinum-toekennings wat op die jongste Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) uitgedeel is, het 5 aan Suid-Afrikaanse wynprodusente gegaan, terwyl Suid-Afrika 28 goue medaljes, 244 silwer medaljes en 276 brons medaljes ingepalm het. Om die kroon te span, is ‘n Best in Show-medalje gewen de …
I don’t see nearly enough sparkling wine from Brazil on restaurant menus and in retail shops. It makes sense, really, since the industry did not begin making strides in foreign markets until the 1990s. Brazil’s wine industry is nascent, relatively speaking. And while the focus of this article is on …
“Soms het jy nie woorde nodig om beter te voel nie, net die nabyheid en liefde van ‘n hond.” En Saartjie die Jack Russell is naby genoeg om jou daai “liefde” te bied, al is dit in ’n bottel! Saartjie is die “skaduwee” van Hillcrest se wynmaker, Arno Smith, en haar naam pronk met trots op ’n baie gew …
The summer has arrived and it’s time (again) to slow things down. And what better way to do that than in front of an open fire with a glass of wine, especially if you’re going to take your time (as one should) with both the food and the wine … and the company. At the Black Oystercatcher in the Stran …
