Matthew Gordon has been there since the beginning. He is one of the architects of the explosion of restaurants in the previously sleepy Western Cape village of Franschhoek. Haute Cabriere put him firmly on the map, but the little restaurant he operated out of his family guesthouse, Balon Rouge is where it all began. Today he is the chef/operator of French Connection which has been a popular eatery in the village for the past 23 years. We spoke about the growth of Franschhoek's dining scene, the changes he's seen, people he's worked with, and the importance of consistency in building a business that will survive in a tumultuous restaurant scene.French Connection BistroSend us a text On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner Cover image sketched by Courtney Cara Lawson All profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise credited Title music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay

"The feeling I hope people will have on this farm is that deep sense of safety and surrender. The feeling of being deeply nurtured and nourished. That feeling you get from visiting your great aunt or your grandmother. That one elderly female family member where you go when you just want to be deeply nourished and you feel completely at ease and safe. All your worries just sort of dissolve instantly.”We're in great company with Fleur and Nicole, partners in life and in profession who serendipitously found and meticulously stewarded Sterrekopje Farm in South Africa, a biodiverse farm and soulful sanctuary where curiosity blooms, creativity flourishes, and laughter is ever-present.Here, they have carefully curated a community of chefs, farmers, holistic practitioners, and artists to share, teach and connect with guests– in an environment where every ritual, every bite, every breath is a chance to celebrate the gifts of Mother Nature, from 'soil to soul'.In this episode, as we celebrate Women's History Month around the world, Nicole and Fleur share with us their serendipitous story, their thoughtful travel tastes, their everyday rituals—providing us with the fertile ground and nourishing energy we crave to pursue our own dreams and desires. Top Takeaways[1:45] A story of how two Dutch women, since early childhood, fell in love with travel to cultures beyond their familiar Western world and how a serendipitous flight became fate that would lead them on their next big adventure together. [6:30] How Nicole knew Sterrekopje Farm, ‘the bright star above the little mountain,' was the sanctuary she had been searching for—a beloved family farm dating back to the 17th century that once produced wine and olives and was in need of nurturing back to health. [10:15] Over the course of five years, Nicole and Fleur have grown alongside the farm itself—transforming monoculture into biodiversity, harvesting their first honey, and witnessing a beautiful season of abundance that extends beyond the land to the guests who visit—which today flourishes as a wild, fertile sanctuary.[13:20] Nicole reminds us all, “What is so important is to get people out of their heads and into their bodies because we're living so much in our heads these days. And to really connect with your body—that opens the ability to connect to other people, but also to yourself and to nature.”[16:50] Close your eyes and listen as Fleur transports us all to a day in the life at Sterrekopje Farm, painting a stunning picture with a palette of serene senses. [22:00] What some may call “a beautiful mess,” is intentionally a curated collection of fabrics and antiques from a multitude of cultures—creating not a standard hotel with sterile rooms, but a soulful place with personal sanctuaries.  [27:20] Discover what makes Sterrekopia a playground for adults to relearn the art of play—a place where curiosity and creativity blossom.[32:20] Here, ‘farm to table' tastes more like ‘soil to soul' as Nicole and Fleur invite their guests to satiate conscious indulgences and savor communal dining experiences.Notable Mentions Jennica Arazi of Marbella Club in SpainVisit For YourselfSterrekopje Farm Website | @sterrekopjefarm

In October 2022, Safaricom launched its telecommunications services in Ethiopia, marking a major milestone as the first private operator to enter the Ethiopian telecom market. This move broke the long-standing monopoly of state-owned Ethio Telecom and was seen by many as a significant step towards liberalising the country's telecom sector. The company had officially been licensed in July 2021, with a record $850 million licensing fee—the largest foreign direct investment in Ethiopia at the time. Safaricom committed to investing around $8 billion over the next decade to build its infrastructure and services, aiming to enhance competition and improve connectivity for millions of Ethiopians. However, Safaricom's launch did not come without challenges. The rollout faced delays due to socioeconomic and security issues within the country. Initially planned for an earlier start, the company adopted a phased approach, beginning with services in Dire Dawa and targeting expansion to 25 cities by April 2023. That move reportedly saw significant infrastructure investments being made, including the construction of mobile towers and a national transmission network, alongside the importation of over $300 million worth of equipment. Episode overview: Fast forward to October 2024, in this episode of the African Tech Roundup Podcast, Yahya Banafa gives Andile Masuku a behind-the-scenes peek at the challenges and opportunities Safaricom is facing as it continues to establish itself in Ethiopia. He offers a practical perspective on building and deploying modern telecom infrastructure from scratch in a market that's evolving rapidly. Key topics: • Planning and engineering a mobile network in a new market • Tackling Ethiopia's unique terrain and altitude challenges • Balancing regulatory hurdles with business goals • Managing unexpected surges in data demand • Forming strategic partnerships within the telecom sector • Exploring the future potential of mobile money services • Optimising network coverage across diverse landscapes • Introducing 5G technology to meet growing demand • Meeting the digital needs of Ethiopia's younger generation • Addressing competition from new market entrants like Starlink Notable points: Banafa delves into the complex process of network planning, touching on the importance of meeting both regulatory standards and service quality benchmarks. He explains how Safaricom has adjusted its approach to handle Ethiopia's high-altitude regions and varied geography. The conversation reveals that higher-than-expected demand for data services has pushed Safaricom to accelerate its 5G rollout. There's also a discussion about the potential of mobile money services in Ethiopia, with insights drawn from the success of M-Pesa in Kenya. Banafa stresses the importance of collaboration across the telecom sector to enhance the customer experience. Listen in for valuable insights into the strategic decisions behind Safaricom's efforts to establish a cutting-edge telecom network in Ethiopia. It sheds light on how technology, regulations, and market dynamics intersect to shape the country's digital future.

Motherdough was started by Lance Littlefield and his partner Willem van Schalkwyk during lockdown as a source of advice, equipment and a a reliable starter for people caught up in the craze of baking sourdough bread. Lance's starter 'Alfonsina' is over a century old and comes from Piedmont in Italy. He's been her care-giver for over 25 years. When the world started returning to normal after Covid, and people were less focused on baking at home, Lance and Willem made the leap to open their own artisanal bakery with Alfonsina in Franschhoek. Their mission is to bake real bread and a host of other naturally leavened baked goods. I sat down with Lance to chat about Alfonsina, their travels together, and why we should all be eating real bread. Send us a text On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner Cover image sketched by Courtney Cara Lawson All profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise credited Title music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pxabay

Als een frisse Noordzeebries waait Charlotte Crul door de Belgische wijnwereld. In Knokke-Heist heeft ze haar eigen wijnhandel Puro. Daarnaast is Charlotte sommelier in Cuines 33 (*) waar ze haar gasten verwent met succulente pairings. Wijn staat centraal in het leven van deze slagersdochter.

Antje Wewer hat Nicole Boeckhoorn und Fleur Huijskens auf ihrer Farm Sterrekopje besucht und sich von den beiden erzählen lassen, wie sie fast gleichzeitig die Liebe und eine Farm in Afrika gefunden haben. Die Healing Farm mit den 11 Suiten liegt hinter Franschhoek, ungefähr eine Stunde von Kapstadt entfernt und ist laut Nicole ganz eindeutig eine Sie. Sterrekopje lädt seine Gäste zu einer 2,3,5 oder 7-tägigen Reise zu sich selber ein. Die Holländerin Nicole hat über viele Jahre hinweg auf ihren Reisen Ideen gesammelt und mit Sterrekopje ihre ganz eigene Vision eines spirituellen Retreats verwirklicht. Wichtige Elemente sind die Natur, die individuellen Treatments, aber auch der Rhythmus der Farm und das köstliche Essen. Den weitläufigen Garten, den die Farm umgibt hat der talentierte Landschaftsarchitekt Leon Kluge angelegt. Zu seinen kreativen botanischen Erfindungen gehören ein so genannter Champagner-Pool, ein Chakra-Garten, genauso wie einen sehr ergiebiger bio-dynamischer Gemüsegarten, aus dem sich die Küche täglich bedient. Neben dem Spa, gibt es auch einen Pool zum Schwimmen, einen Damm auf dem Kanu gefahren werden kann, ein Keramikstudio und eine eigene Bäckerei. Ach ja, Zwergponies, Hühner und Hängebauchschweine finden sich auch auf der Farm. Ganz genau, es ist für jeden etwas dabei und bisher haben noch alle auf Sterrekopje zu sich gefunden.

Sémillon used to be the most planted white grape in the world. From its native home in France to Australia, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, and beyond, it was planted en masse to pump out large quantities of flavorless bulk white wine. The problem was that Sémillon doesn't cooperate when it's forced to high yields. It loses acidity and it lacks flavor unlike some other grapes that can still muster some umph when over-cropped (Chenin blanc, Sauvignon blanc, Colombard, to name three).  For this reason, plantings were replaced and the grape became unpopular. Photo: Sémillon, Bordeaux.com  Today it is grown in limited quantities but two distinct areas– Sauternes/Barsac and Pessac-Leognan in Bordeaux and the Hunter Valley of Australia --  create wines that are incredibly specific and unique. Demand and fascination with these iconic wines means that cultivation of this grape is not doomed!   Here are the show notes: The origins of the grape Although we don't know the parentage, we do know the grape is from southwestern France. It is likely from Bordeaux Until the 1700s, producers were only using the grape in Sauternes (at this point it was already a sweet wine, as records from 1717-1736 at the local abbey show) Later, it was found in St-Emilion, from which it derives its name. The name most likely comes from Selejun – the local pronunciation of Saint-Emilion     Sémillon in the vineyard A thick-skinned grape, part of the reason it was so widely planted was that this feature makes Sémillon pretty resistant to molds and mildews (although, thankfully not botrytis). This feature of the grape helps make it easy to grow and it can be quite vigorous, which is why it was so used and abused in the past! The grape buds later and ripens earlier than its blending partner, Sauvignon blanc, and this short growing window means it is not as susceptible to spring or autumn frosts The grape is versatile on soil types – it can thrive on gravel, calcareous clay, sand, and other types making it incredibly adaptable Fully ripe Sémillon will have big yellow to nearly copper colored berries Low yields are best Château d'Yquem, the most famous Sauternes producer in the world, allegedly makes one glass per vine. The rest of Sauternes yields about 24hl/ha, and lower quality regions yield 80 -100 hl/ha. Hunter Valley in Australia – 60 hl/ha **M.C. Ice and I fully acknowledge that we have no idea what a hl/ha looks like but we use the numbers for comparison sake – ratios are still helpful, right? ** Photo: Australian Semillon, courtesy Wine Australia Climate can vary enormously and the grape can still perform: In Sauternes, special climate conditions must exist (we discuss later) Top dry white areas of Graves and Pessac-Leognan have warmer sites for Sémillon, which allows it to get fully ripe, adding lushness to the blend with Sauvignon blanc In Hunter valley, humidity with tropical storms are best! Because the area has strong cloud cover there is less direct sun so it slows photosynthesis, despite heat. The humid afternoons somehow help build acidity. The light, sandy soils that contain some loam and iron have good drainage, during rain     We discuss the growing regions for most of the remaining part of the show France: Bordeaux France grows more Sémillon than any other country and most of the plantings are in Bordeaux, specifically – Graves, Pessac-Leognan, and Sauternes 50 or so years ago, half the production in Bordeaux was white, mostly from Semillon, which traditionally made up 4/5 of any white wine in the area, sweet or white, but now has taken a backseat to Sauvignon Blanc, which offers more acidity to the wine in a warming climate  Photo: Bordeaux vineyard, Getty Images via Canva subscription   Sauternes, Barsac In Sauternes, Barsac (please see episode 369 for more info) and the sweet appellations of Cadillac, Ste Croix du Mont, Loupiac, and Cerons Sémillon is always partnered with Sauvignon blanc, which also receives botrytis well but maintains its acidity. Wines are hand harvested, with several passes through the vineyard to get the right level of botrytis, which can be patchy and can be grey rot if it developed poorly on the grapes Botrytis is a fungus that affects the grapes right when the fruit forms. It concentrates sugar and creates honeyed, apricot, mango flavors with a viscous mouthfeel from the glycerol it produces. Alcohol levels range in the region -- the minimum in Sauternes is 13% but it can well over 20% ABV For botrytis to form, a region needs foggy nights and early morning, followed by warm and sunny days. This is essential in the autumn, and is a very consistent weather pattern in the sweet wine regions of Bordeaux, which botrytized wine can be made nearly every year These wines are aged for long periods in oak barrels Some, like Chateau Climens in Barsac, are 100% Sémillon   Dry white appellations In Graves and the lighter, sandier regions of Pessac-Leognan, Sémillon is often the biggest percentage of the blend. The best versions – Haut-Brion Blanc and La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc (different Châteaux, owned by the same group = confusing, I know) – are hundreds of dollars a bottle and often have Sémillon as the main component, but it's vintage dependent In Pessac-Leognan, 25% of blend must be Sauvignon Blanc, and the trend is to favor that grape over Sémillon both because it's easier to grow, and because it has acidity. From good producers, these wines can age for decades The grape can be in Côtes de Bordeaux blancs and in basic Bordeaux blanc from better producers Sémillon adds fullness to the texture and when it is aged in oak (as is the case with Sauternes, Barsac and in Graves and Pessac-Leognan), it can have peach, mango, nuts, and toast flavors, which contrast well with Sauvignon blanc's more “green” aromas. If Sémillon is not aged in oak, it can have citrus, grass, notes without much flavor. When it is fully ripe and aged in oak, it is fat in texture with lemon and tropical fruit and has lower acidity.   Other places in France Sémillon grows... Southwest France has the sweet wine of Monbazillac (like Sauternes) and dry white of Bergerac Provence and the Languedoc, but not of any quality     Australia Makes the most distinctive dry white in Australia and was first planted in the Hunter Valley where it gained popularity for its ease to grow, high yields, and resistance to disease It went from being the workhorse grape in the 1980s, to accounting for only 3.1% of the total Australian crush today More than half of Australia's Semillon comes from the bulk New South Wales region of Riverina Hunter Valley in New South Wales The warm, humid climate of the Hunter Valley isn't conducive to most grapes but Semillon (no accent on the “e” in Australia!) changes from a grassy, lemony acidic wine into a dark yellow, nutty, honey and straw-scented viscous wine if grown and made under certain conditions To achieve this, growers pick early, before the summer rains and the grapes have very high acidity. Alcohol levels are around 10-11% ABV, and most of the wine spends no time in oak for fermentation nor for aging – it is put in stainless, fermented cold, and bottled. Wines in their youth are like Sauvignon blanc – citrus, green herbs, and straw flavors persist, with high acidity. After 5-10 years of storage the wine darkens and tastes like honey, toasted, grilled nuts and seems like it has been in an oak barrel (hasn't) – a total odd ball. Although the grapes can have some botrytis, this phenomenon is just a result of the rainy, tropical growing conditions To learn more about Hunter Valley and the Semillon, listen to ep 309, with the amazing Connie Paur Griffiths of Tranquil Vale, an excellent small producer located there Tyrells is the famous producer here (especially Vat 1 Semillon). Also Brokenwood, Silkman, Andrew Thomas    Photo: Hunter Valley Vineyard, credit Wine Australia   Western Australia: Margaret River: Popular for blends of Semillon and Sauvignon blanc You will see Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon on the bottle, the first name indicates which grape dominates the blend These wines can be made in a juicy, fruit style with no oak, or oak fermented and/or oak matured to last longer Producers: Vasse Felix, Cullen, Cape Mentelle, Leeuwin   South Australia Adelaide Hills: Wines are like white Bordeaux in that they are picked early and blended with Sauvignon Blanc to avoid oiliness, too much ripeness. They sometimes use oak, sometimes not. Charlotte Dalton is the big producer here. Barossa: Sometimes makes varietal versions that show the purity of the grape, sometimes use big oak and can be toasty and Chardonnay-esque. Producers: Torbreck, Peter Lehmann, Henschke in Eden Valley Clare Valley: Can be more refined than Barossa but still peachy with apple and citrus and fuller body. Oak influence is common. Producers: Mount Harrocks, Pauletts Riverina: Is notorious for low quality bulk wine but a pocket of it develops botrytis easily and makes high quality sweet wines: McWilliams, De Bortoli     New Zealand has a small amount of Semillon in Marlborough, Hawkes Bay, and Gisbourne   South Africa Semillon was once so important it was called “greengrape” because of its bring green foliage By 1822, 93% of the vineyard land planted was Semillon. Then it was commonly just called “wine grape” but by the 1900s it began its sharp decline It is grown now in Stellenbosch, Swartland, and Franschhoek. Some areas have older bush vines. Producers like: Cederberg, Steenberg, Vergelegen , Mullineux are using more Semillon in blends with Sauvignon Blanc (some sweet, some dry versions)   United States   California Barely uses Semillon but vines that were imported in the 1880s to the Livermore Valley in northern California, were allegedly from Château d'Yquem Vines that live in the Monte Rosso vineyard in Sonoma date from 1886 and can make excellent wines. Morgon is an example Sierra Foothills: Some here, notably my friend Lorenzo Muslia of Andis makes the Bill Dillian Semillon that has great acidity but silkiness and hay, herb, and melon notes (for the podcast with Lorenzo click here) Photo: Andis Wines   Washington State Big decline in plantings and they usually a blend with Sauvignon Blanc Popular from Walla Walla producers: L'Ecole 41 – lemon curd, nut and toast notes with a pretty full body, Amavi (episode with Amavi here) – slightly more acidic and less full with more citrus and grass notes but still with a rich body     Others countries that use Sémilllon Chile: Because of the Bordeaux link, has Semillon and usually uses it for blends or Sauternes-like sweet wines. Semillon used be 75% of white vines in Chile! Argentina, Uruguay have some nice examples Canada     Food Pairing Ideas Sauternes/dessert styles: blue (Roquefort) cheese, foie gras, scallops, fruit based-dessert Lighter styles: Oysters, shellfish, white fish or chicken dishes with citrus or herbal sauces or creamy sauces, salads, goat and sheep's milk cheeses _____________________________________________ Research Sources: “Wine Grapes” by Jancis Robinson, Dr. José Vouillamoz, Julia Harding “Grapes & Wines” by Margaret Rand and Oz Clarke https://www.bordeaux.com/us/ https://www.wineaustralia.com/ Fiona Beckett – Matching Food & Wine As always, talking to people about the grape who grow it, and drinking a lot of the wine itself – Sémillon is awesome! __________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ From our Sponsors...

Pigcasso was rescued just before slaughter in 2016 by Joanne Lefson and taken to Farm Sanctuary SA in Franschhoek, South Africa. When Joanne noticed that Pigcasso ate or destroyed everything except some old paint brushes that were laying in her stall, she decided to nurture the pig's potential talent. It didn't take long before Pigcasso began to paint – and over time, the painting process developed into an extraordinary collaboration between human and pig. https://pigcasso.org/

Uma experiência que vai além de uma viagem a passeio. É um momento de conhecer uma cultura desbravadora, imergir em cenários que não só encantam, mas transformam a sua forma de ver o mundo. Essa é a África do Sul, que em seu extenso território escreveu uma história que até hoje impacta a cena mundial. E é sobre esse incrível país que o Seu Podcast de Turismo irá falar no episódio de hoje, que tem como entrevistado Sergio Maciura, da Premier Club, operadora de turismo especializada em destinos exóticos. Com seus belos safaris, praias, museus e, claro, lendária figura de Nelson Mandela, a África do Sul tem um roteiro singular para qualquer tipo de viagem, seja com amigos, família ou até mesmo sozinho. Dividida em províncias, a viagem para a África do Sul se inicia no Aeroporto Internacional de Oliver Tambo, em Joanesburgo, repleto de atividades para passar o tempo (salas vips, acomodações para noite). Após desembarcar no principal aeroporto do país, que tal visitar o Museu do Apartheid, também em Johannesburg, que conta a história do apartheid por meio de fotos, filmes e objetos? Ou, se preferir, você pode seguir para Sun City, uma província que abriga o The Palace, um luxuoso resort com quatro hotéis e que oferece uma infinidade de atividades, como golfe, festas, compras e até passeio de balão. "As pessoas que vão para a África nunca têm a verdadeira dimensão de como é esse destino. Quando voltam, é surpreendente como elas relatam as suas experiências nesse destino. É raríssimo alguém reclamar dessa viagem. E nesse momento em que vivemos, de muita informação, viajar para a África é se desconectar do mundo e se conectar a sua própria essência", diz Sergio Maciura. Conhecendo os safaris E essa conexão ocorre, muita das vezes, em meio a natureza. Por isso, é essencial ter os safaris no topo da sua lista de pontos a serem visitados. Pois, nesse imenso lugar, você tem contato com diferentes tipos de animais, aves e um momento de aventura único. Na África, os safaris são divididos em reservas privadas e parques nacionais, cada um com as suas próprias regras. Por exemplo, nos safaris de reservas privadas você pode percorrer cada canto em um jeep, embarcando totalmente nas savanas, emoção diferente do parque nacional, em que você só pode andar pela estrada demarcada. As maravilhosas vinícolas E todo esse roteiro pede um vinho, certo? Na África do Sul, você irá encontrar fantásticas vinícolas, como a La Motte, em Franschhoek, complexo que tem  restaurante, degustação de vinho, loja, fazenda, museu e trilha. Ou como a Waterford Wine Estate, uma vinícola rústica localizada Stellenbosch. Que maravilhosa é a África do Sul, é uma emoção inesquecível!

In this episode we'll be looking at one of the historic districts of the Winelands, Franschhoek. Its long history is reflected in its name, which means” French corner” and reflects the large number of French Huguenots who settled there in the 17th century. Today Franschhoek is one of the most visited spots in the Western Cape, home to a diverse array of wines including many great Chardonnays, Syrahs, Cap Classiques, and more.

À l’image du reste du monde, l’économie sud-africaine a été très affectée par la pandémie du coronavirus. L’industrie du tourisme, qui contribuait à près de 7% du PIB du pays avant la crise, est encore très touchée. De notre envoyée spéciale au Cap, Dans la rue principale de Franschhoek, seul le passage des camions vient briser le calme ambiant. Située à l’est du Cap, la petite ville, considérée comme la capitale gastronomique du pays, vit d’habitude du tourisme. Mais désormais, elle ressemble à une ville fantôme.  « Cet endroit est mort depuis le coronavirus, complètement mort ! », dit Takis, l’air renfrogné, les bras croisés. Il reste assis sur un banc devant son bar-restaurant à son nom. À l’intérieur, seuls deux clients sirotent une bière. « Depuis 35 ans que je suis ici, je n’ai jamais vu Franschhoek comme cela. Là-bas, ce commerce a fermé. Et là aussi. Moi, je remercie mon propriétaire, qui me fait payer moins cher. Sans lui, j’aurais déjà mis la clé sous la porte. » « On pensait que l’année 2020 nous réussirait » Et pour Vuyo, l’un de ses employés, il est aussi difficile de rester à flot. « Il a fallu réduire notre temps de travail. Mais je dépends beaucoup de ce boulot, pour pouvoir réussir à manger et survivre. Et c’est très dur, car il faut aussi subvenir aux besoins de la famille toute entière. »  ► À lire aussi : Afrique du Sud: l'impact de la crise sanitaire sur l'industrie vinicole Le calme règne aussi dans la ville du Cap. Le quartier malais attire d’habitude les foules, mais désormais, le guide touristique Zaki Harris se promène souvent seul. « Nous remontons l’une des ruelles de Bo-Kaap avec ses maisons colorées de styles grégorien et hollandais. Avant le Covid-19, on voyait ici beaucoup de jeunes voyageurs en train de prendre des photos. On pensait que l’année 2020 nous réussirait, que les habitants pourraient profiter du tourisme pour gagner un peu leur vie. Le plus gros défi, c’est de ne pas savoir quand cela pourra changer à nouveau, et reprendre. »  Les dommages collatéraux du variant La découverte d’un variant dans le pays, en novembre, puis sa rapide propagation, ont eu un effet dévastateur sur le secteur, et de nombreux vols commerciaux ont été suspendus.  Enver Duminy, de l’organisation de promotion du tourisme pour le Cap (Cape Town Tourism), espère que le pays pourra être à nouveau attractif grâce à la campagne vaccinale. « Nous avons perdu des dizaines de milliers d’emplois dans l’industrie du tourisme, autour du Cap, et cela a coûté au total à l’économie des milliards de rands. L’Afrique du Sud a peu à peu été perçue comme étant la cause d’un variant encore plus dangereux. Donc, la campagne vaccinale est une bonne chose, car cela va pouvoir redonner de la confiance. »  La vaccination connaît néanmoins des retards. De quoi repousser un peu plus le retour tant attendu des touristes internationaux.

L’Afrique du Sud est le huitième producteur mondial de vin. Le secteur emploie près de 300 000 personnes directement ou indirectement et tente de se réorganiser, alors qu’il est submergé par les invendus. De notre envoyée spéciale au Cap, Les vendanges se sont terminées dans la région viticole autour de la ville du Cap, et notamment sur le domaine « Haut-Espoir » de Rob Armstrong, qui compte une dizaine d’hectares plantés dans la vallée de Franschhoek. « Voici notre chai, où les vins mûrissent, ils restent parfois ici 3 ou 4 ans avant d’être mis en bouteille », indique Rob Armstrong.   Les différentes interdictions de la vente d’alcool, mises en place pour limiter les accidents et soulager les hôpitaux lors des pics d’infections, ont laissé les viticulteurs avec de nombreux stocks d’invendus sur les bras.  « Il serait imprudent de dépenser tout cet argent » Si l’industrie a connu une légère hausse des volumes pour 2021, Rob Armstrong a lui fait le choix de produire un millésime de qualité pour le vignoble « Haut-Espoir », mais disponible en petite quantité.  « Comme nous sommes un petit domaine familial, nous avons décidé cette année de ne pas tout vendanger. Nous n’avons pas récolté la totalité de notre raisin, nous nous sommes débarrassés d’environ 60 % de nos fruits. Et cela à cause du coût que cela représente ensuite, entre les bouteilles, les bouchons, l’emballage. Pour nous, il serait imprudent de dépenser tout cet argent, sans être sûr ensuite d’avoir un retour sur nos investissements », explique Rob Armstrong.  « On est en train de se remettre de la crise, mais cela va prendre du temps » Le domaine « Creation Wines », situé près d’Hermanus, a, lui aussi, dû faire face aux conséquences des restrictions. Sa propriétaire, Carolyn Martin, s’en sort en coupant les coûts, et en tentant de nouvelles expériences.  « On a dû réduire nos frais généraux et faire très attention. Et on a aussi réalisé beaucoup de dégustations en ligne, grâce à nos kits, en Europe, à Sydney, et en Afrique du Sud lorsque c’était autorisé. Je pense qu’on est en train de se remettre de la crise, mais cela va prendre du temps. Nous sommes à flot, mais on ne sait pas vraiment à quoi va ressembler cette année », dit Carolyn Martin.  L’incertitude pour les petits producteurs tournés vers la vente locale Ceux qui s’en sont le mieux tirés, ce sont les vignobles qui misaient déjà sur les exportations à l’étranger avant la crise, comme l’explique Zia van Rooyen du Toit, chargée des exportations pour le domaine « Lanzerac ». « Nos clients étrangers sont fidèles à notre marque, donc pour nous, cela a été assez facile d’intensifier nos exportations. Nous avons touché de nouveaux marchés, comme la Chine. Donc, notre volet exportation s’est bien développé durant cette période », dit Zia van Rooyen du Toit Le pays a d’ailleurs profité de la récente guerre commerciale entre l’Australie et la Chine, pour placer ses vins. Mais pour les petits producteurs tournés vers les ventes locales, l’incertitude plane encore quant à leur future survie.

In this show we take another look at the regal Chardonnay grape and talk about how it has changed over the years. This is a refresh of a previous show done years ago, so we cover everything we do in a normal grape mini-series. Once you get to know Chardonnay, you realize what a chameleon it really is and how important it is to understand place and producer to get the styles that you like. Here are some brief show notes (with special focus on writing out regions that you may not have caught while listening)!   Chardonnay originated in Burgundy, and is a cross of Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc. In the vineyard it is early budding and ripening, so frost can be an issue, however it grows very well on a multitude of soils and growers the world around love it for how it takes to most sites. Powdery mildew, coulure (shatter), and rot can cause a headache in the vineyard but with more than 28 clones to choose from, growers can pick what is best for their site.   The variety does different things in different climates – it has lower alcohol and higher acidities with mineral and citrus aromas and flavors in cool climates and is tropical, fruity, and full bodied with low acidity in warmer climates. Soils make a difference too – well drained soils are best. Limestone is generally considered the best type for Chardonnay with bits of clay and marl to give the wines dimension, but there are lots of different soils that yield beautiful wines from Chardonnay. Drainage and low yields make a world of difference with this grape too. Chardonnay is a non-aromatic, generally neutral grape that can take on flavors from the vineyard or be a blank canvas on which winemakers show their skills. The grape can and does express terroir, as we see in places like Burgundy, its homeland, but often it is subjected to full malo-lactic fermentation (yielding buttered popcorn notes), oak aging in a high proportion of new, heavily toasted barrels (vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, smoke/char), and battonnage (stirring of the dead yeast cells or lees, to create bready, toasty, yeasty notes in the wine).   Chardonnay is ideal for sparkling wine. In cool climates it is floral with low acidity and brings a lightness and elegance to sparkling wines. Champagne, with its long aging on the lees (sur lie, dead yeast cells – basic Champagne is aged this way for at least 12 months, vintage Champagne 30 months and the Tete de Cuvee, the best Champagnes, even longer), has shown us the changes that can occur with this contact over time –amino acids, peptides, proteins, and fatty acids for to add aromas and flavors like hazelnuts and honey.     Old World Burgundy Chablis: Steely, minerally wines that are a great expression of the grape. Affordable Grand Cru Côte de Beaune: The most age worthy and famed Chardonnay in the world. Grand cru vineyards that straddle the towns of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet: Le Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Corton-Charlemagne Côte Chalonnaise Mâconnais: Pouilly-Fuisse is good and improving Champagne: Blanc de Blancs is pure Chardonnay   Other France: Loire: Used in Crémant and the white blends of Saumur, Anjoy, Touraine Jura (as we call it, Bizarro Burgundy) Languedoc-Roussillon: most Chardonnay is bulk and is bottled under Vins de Pays d'Oc Limoux: Does sparkling Crémant de Limoux, barrel-fermented still wine. Italy Often mixed in with Pinot Bianco in the northeast areas -- Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia Franciacorta: Used in this fine sparkling wine of Lombardy Piedmont: Excellent Chardonnay when it’s not too oaky   Other Old World Spots Spain: Used in Cava as a small proportion of the blend, used in some other white blends Austria and Switzerland Eastern Europe: Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia Israel England: Excellent in sparkling, more varietal wine being made _________________________________________  New World United States California: Most important variety Napa: Carneros, Russian River Sonoma: Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap, Russian River Central Coast: Santa Barbara (my favorite region), Santa Lucia Highlands, Mendocino: Anderson Valley Central Valley: BULK Washington State: Lots of fruit, maybe less MLF Oregon: The one to watch in the U.S. NY State: Finger Lakes and Long Island Virginia: Linden, Pollak make especially good versions   Canada: Niagara, BC   Australia New South Wales: Hunter Valley – tropical, fruity, buttery, opulent Victoria: Yarra, Mornington Peninsula, Macedon Ranges – lighter, more acidic wine with good terroir expression South Australia: Eden Valley, Adelaide Hills, nice, still oaky sometimes Margaret River: Can be complex, fruity, good acidity Tasmania: Delicate to complex, good acidity, used in sparkling   New Zealand: Ripeness with Acidity, nice herbal character often, excellent from Hawkes Bay where the styles are fatter, to Martinborough, and to Canterbury where the acidity is pronounced.   Chile Casablanca Valley: Ripeness with acidity, not much oak or malolactic fermentation Leyda, San Antonio: Similar to Casablanca Other cool regions: Limarí, Bío Bío and Itata Valleys   Argentina Very much like California Chardonnay. Promising in cooler, higher vineyards - Tupungato.    South Africa – hot, except in Walker Bay Walker Bay, Elgin: Soft with mineral and nut notes Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl: Fuller, can have a lot of oak    Aging Top Chardonnays can age and need the age: 30 years is not unheard of from great producers of Grands Crus. With Premiers Crus – more like 20 years is appropriate. Village – within 8-10 yrs. New World wines generally age for less time, but the length of aging depends on the producer and the area   Flavor: We discuss the difference between primary and secondary flavors and how knowing the difference can help point you to styles you prefer: Primary flavors from the grape: Cooler sites: lemon, chalk, minerals, flint, green apple, citrus, pears, grapefruit (higher acidities, lower alcohols, lighter bodied) Warmer sites: baked apple, pineapple, guava, melon (also fuller bodied, lower acidity, higher alcohol) Secondary flavors from winemaking: Oak notes: Smoke, toast, spice, coconut, vanilla, cinnamon, butterscotch, caramel Malolactic fermentation: buttered popcorn, clotted cream Sur lie aging: toast, nuttiness, yeasty notes Serving temperature effects the flavor. I prefer it a little cooler than is often recommended: 48˚-50˚/9˚-10˚C is what I prefer, although many recommend 55˚F/12.8˚C   ___________________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors: Wine Access      Visit: www.wineaccess.com/normal and for a limited time get $20 off your first order of $50 or more!  Wine Access is a web site that has exclusive wines that overdeliver for the price (of which they have a range).

Pour en faire le bilan et tenter de voir ce que l'avenir nous réserve, j'ai décidé d'inviter un journaliste qui vous parle tous les jours de CAC40, de NASDAQ, de futures, de matières premières et autres cryptomonnaies.

Fine Music Radio — Things to Ponder on Whilst You Tend Your Indoor Plants in Lockdown. www.roboticsandautomationnews.com “vertical farming” The south-western Cape storage dams are pretty well supplied after the rainy days of mid-August and a few cold fronts that actually brought more than a smattering of showers. The relatively new (and once controversial) Berg River Dam near Franschhoek is 100-plus percent full, meaning that the overrun sluice gates were opened to release water into the much-utilised Berg River. That brings a feeling of relief to all us water-constrained folks, and that should mean all of us. And here is the mandatory warning: it’s still vital to conserve water, and we’re doing a good job in the Cape Town supply area, with an average saving of 28-million litres per day over the last few months.

ABOUT THE WINELANDS welcomes Emma Bruwer, Winemaker at Le Lude Estate situated in Franschhoek, South Africa. Le Lude, a wine farm in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley of South Africa's Western Cape, follows an ethos committed to its founding family and the crafting of naturally bottle-fermented sparkling wines, known as Cap Classique. Here the Barrow family have made their home, writing a new chapter in a premier wine region where French Huguenots, fleeing persecution for their religious beliefs, landed in the Cape and began making wines in Franschhoek as far back as 1693. The pioneering approach of Le Lude is underscored by it being the first cellar to produce an Agrafe® (Tirage Liège) Cap Classique, paving the way for a sector of the South African wine industry on the road to greatness.

Today on the podcast we have Marc Kent, the Managing Partner and Technical Director of Boekenhoutskloof in Franschhoek. Boekenhoutskloof is one of the huge success stories of the new South Africa – it not only has the Boekenhoutskloof range, it also has Wolftrap, Porcupine Ridge, Porseleinberg and there is a new project in the Hemel-en-Aarde. I would think that virtually everyone interested in South African wine would have had at least some contact with one of these brands in the last 20 years. Marc is a fascinating guy, an original thinker, deeply influenced by the late Tim Rands (of Vinimark), and few people know, was one of the original instigators of the Swartland Revolution. By his own admission, Marc is much more interested in the business of wine than farming and making it. This was mainly what I wanted to speak to him about: how Boekenhoutskloof got started, how he got involved, and how he expanded the business to where it is today. We also touch on other subjects like fine wine post-COVID19, thoughts on brand South Africa and his love of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. I give you Marc Kent…

The Cape Winelands has a viticultural history dating back to the 1650's when the Dutch first settled in South Africa in 1652. The Dutch set up a port to provide fresh food and water to the passing ships of the Dutch East India Company, and wine farms started to emerge, producing wine that could be used to ward off scurvy for sailors continuing on their voyages along the spice route.
