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.

Warwick Estate is a high-end South African winery in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa with a rich farming history dating back to 1771.

Today we chat to National Brand Manager, Spencer Fondaumiere, a certified wine judge who graduated through the Michael Fridjhon Wine Academy where he successfully passed the WSET Level 3 certification in 2016, but he is also one of only five hundred individuals who passed the challenging exam to become an Associationde la Sommellerie Internationale (ASI) certified sommelier.

Firstly a fruit farm, until Stan and Norma Ratcliffe bought the Warwick Estate in 1964 and started developing the land with an extensive focus on the classic Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon - Warwick emerged on the forefront of South Africa’s wine scene.

ABOUT THE WINELANDS #2 - An interview with Tim Pearson owner of Seven Springs Winery, South Africa  

Seven Springs Vineyard is a premium wine producer, situated on the R320 Hemel en Aarde Valley road, between the seaside town of Hermanus and the spa town of Caledon, in the picturesque Western Cape, South Africa. The vineyard nestles between Shaws Mountain to the north and the Teslaarsdal Mountain Range to the south, with Walker Bay and the Atlantic Ocean beyond these mountains. It is this oceanic influence, coupled with our shale derived soils, known locally as Bokkeveld Shale, that gives our vines the potential to produce exceptional grapes from both north and south facing vineyards. Noble varieties, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Pinot Noir, have been planted to express the full potential of each cultivar.

The story of wine is deeply intertwined with the story of all of recorded human history, it seems everyone in history managed to make wine - In the Bible, we first hear the mention of wine in the book of Genesis, when, after the flood, Noah, drunk on wine, exposed himself to his sons. He was of course punished by God for this, the first recorded act of drunkenness.
