Today on the podcast we have Master Sommelier Nicolas Clerc. Nico is originally from the Savoie area of France (in the French Alps, north of Marseille) but has lived and worked in the UK since 2003. A former UK sommelier of the year, he is currently working for Armit Wines as a brand manager after working for Fields, Morris & Verdin as a prestige account manager. He is also a board member for the Court of Master Sommeliers Europe. We met in 2008 when we were both sommeliers at Vue de monde restaurant in Melbourne. Nico visited South Africa for the first time in winter 2019 and we spent a few days together travelling around the winelands visiting some of the best producers in the country. I wanted to chat with Nico to get his view on South African wine from a perspective someone deep in the scene of UK fine dining and sommeliers working in Europe. As you will hear Nico is a hugely passionate lover of wine and food and it is almost impossible not to get carried away with him. Again, just
podcast· 1h 09mTalking South African Wine and Old Vineyards with TEGAN PASSALACQUA, Turley & Sandlands
***NB*** We are in the middle of a government enforced lockdown here in South Africa where the sale and movement of wine is, at least for now, forbidden. So to keep ourselves busy we have decided to release a new podcast episode every day during lockdown. Today on the podcast we have Tegan Passalacqua who is based in California and is the director of winemaking at Turley Wine Cellars, a producer specialising in old vine wines, with zinfandel being a particular focus. He is also the owner/winemaker of Sandlands, his own project, which looks to highlight interesting and unique vineyards. My wife, Jeannette, first met Tegan in 2003 when they were both interns at Craggy Range in New Zealand – they have remained friends ever since. I first met Tegan in 2008 when Jeannette and I visited him at Turley in California and was immediately impressed by his passion, knowledge and polite curiosity. I remember fondly a bottle of Turley Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel he gave us on that visit. We drank it wi

podcast· 1h 01mThe 2019 Vintages of Van Loggerenberg Wines with LUKAS VAN LOGGERENBERG
***NB*** We are in the middle of a government enforced lockdown here in South Africa where the sale and movement of wine is, at least for now, forbidden. So to keep ourselves busy we have decided to release a new podcast episode every day during lockdown. Today on the podcast we have Lukas van Loggerenberg, winemaker and owner of Van Loggerenberg Wines – a wine brand based in Stellenbosch which, with a few others like Reenen Borman and Mick and Jeanine Craven, has been leading a renaissance in that region over the last 4-5 years. Previous to the emergence this group (and others) a lot of the international attention South African wine was getting was focussed on the Swartland (think Sadie Family, David and Nadia, Mullineux, Badenhorst et al.) and the Overberg (think Alheit, Crystallum). I am painting with very broad brushstrokes, but the traditional centre of premium grape growing and winemaking, Stellenbosch, was more or less left in the shade of the other two regions. In 2020 Van Logg

podcast· 24:38Genesis of Genevieve MCC with Melissa Nelsen
Genesis of Genevieve with MELISSA NELSEN. We are in the middle of a government enforced lockdown here in South Africa where the sale and movement of wine is, at least for now, forbidden. So to keep ourselves busy we have decided to release a new podcast episode every day during lockdown.

Traditional method sparkling wines in South Africa are called Method Cap Classique, which is quite often shortened to the initials MCC.

podcast· 35:42Vines, vermouth, parrots, rooibos, agave and Abruzzo with ADI BADENHORST
***A quick note on the quality of the audio, we are in lockdown at the moment in South Africa and we are relying on the internet to record these podcasts, and they don’t always behave. We have done what we can to make it listenable as possible.*** Kalmoesfontein: vines, vermouth, parrots, rooibos, agave and Abruzzo with Adi Badenhorst Today on the podcast we have Adi Badenhorst, one of the Swartland Revolutionaries –he is the main force and winemaker behind Badenhorst Family Vineyards where they make some fantastic wine. But I didn’t really want to talk about the wine per se on this episode with Adi. Which is a bit strange, given this is a wine podcast I understand. I wanted to talk to Adi about Kalmoesfontein, the farm he lives and works on and all the “other” projects he is undertaking on the property. Adi is an extremely good-natured person, he will laugh at your jokes just as hard as he laughs at his own. He cares deeply about people and will, if given the time and permission, seek

podcast· 1h 22mThe Past, Present and Future of Chris Williams - The Foundry
We are in the middle of a government enforced lockdown here in South Africa where the sale and movement of wine is, at least for now, forbidden. So to keep ourselves busy we have decided to release a new podcast episode every day during lockdown. (5 Apr 2020) Today on the podcast we have Chris Williams – winemaker and co-owner of The Foundry – he produces single vineyard wines from Stellenbosch and the Voor Paardeberg WOs. He recently left his day job of 16 years which was as the cellarmaster and winemaker at Meerlust Estate – one of the grand old properties in Stellenbosch. Their top wine, Rubicon, has been a must buy for wine lovers in SA since the early 1980s. Chris seemingly has an insatiable inquisitiveness where wine is concerned and is always looking to learn and improve. He is well read and is always an interesting and engaging person to talk to, and not only when the subject is wine. He just completed his first vintage outside Meerlust since 2004, so I thought it would be inte
podcast· 49:34The Philosophy and Wine Styles of Jurgen Gouws - INTELLEGO WINES
A zoom chat with Jurgen Gouws of Intellego Wines. Specialising in Swartland Chenin Blanc and Syrah (although Cinsaut, Mourvedre and Viognier are also used), Jurgen is one of only a handful of people making natural wines in South Africa. We don't really talk about each wine specifically, it was more of a chat about his philosophies, approaches, and opinions. We also chat about the wine he makes for us, a "semi-carbonically macerated" pinotage. We love Jurgen's wines, and think he is a little bit of a genius. I hope you enjoy our chat. NB. Please note that the last few (and many of the next) episodes were recorded via zoom and rely on a stable internet connection and this isn't always the case. Apologies for any audio issues, we are doing our best :) Please share if you enjoy it.

A quick catch up with Maryna Calow, Communications Manager at Wines of South Africa (WOSA), "a not-for-profit industry organisation which promotes the export of all South African wine in key international markets".
