Art lovers, curious visitors and ceramics collectors, start making plans to visit Spier Wine Farm’s historic Old Wine Cellar for ‘Grounded Practice’ – a new ceramics exhibition opening on 26 May.

SATSA has launched a new toolkit and five category-specific Codes of Good Practice, marking another milestone in the industry’s journey towards global best practices and enhanced safety standards.

Since its inception, the Cabernet Franc Challenge has appointed ten different winery winners over the same number of years. 

I thought I knew Pinotage.

Not in the encyclopedic, swirl-sniff-score way, but in the proudly South African, “I’ve brought a bottle to almost every braai since I came to the Winelands” sort of way. It was a varietal I’d always championed: a little rough, a little misunderstood, but undeniably ours. To me, Pinotage was Lanzerac, first to bottle it. It was Beyerskloof, loud, generous, deeply red. That was the story. Simple. Neatly packaged.
