from Bordeaux to Stellenbosch, living the soil, cover crop, pest and disease, counter attack, cost control

The senses: smell, see, hear… – unique experience outside, quality is everything, biodiversity, selection of varieties – unique as well, the Jem amongst South Africa’s finest reds, soil wind temperature amongst the factors, the wine – don’t do too much alcohol

Do the best you can – Pinotage as serious as it gets, yes it can age, brief tasting notes, story of the canon hill, from the Kadette to Paul Sauer, searching for the best terroir, how to vinify Cabernet Sauvignon vs. Pinotage

Short history, white-white-white-some red, soil and clones make the difference, “what works here might not work there”, over view, yeast – clones – and more, from South Africa to Germany and back

Pinotage is what we do – what we love, pinotage from all different styles, fermentation of pinotage, biggest volume and high quality, clean fruit clean wine, the diesel truly special

From stones to stones, minerality through stones – don’t think so, family heritage from the Loire to South Africa, climate of Robertson – Sauvignon Blanc without greenness, without irrigation – no chance, wild yeast vs. cultured, the thunder child, good wine is grown not made
