  1. Tim James: How South African wine coverage really works

    When I suggested last week that perhaps some wine commentators – and others in the wine trade – tended to ignore older-established producers in favour of what is new, it felt more akin to a confession than the accusation a few pe…

  5. Tim James: Five summer white wines under R170 – how do they stack up?

    Summer is more or less here in Cape Town, with occasional backward glances to winter, and I believe that it’s been resident in Johannesburg, for example, for some time already. So it seemed opportune to t…

  6. Tim James: The wines, scenic splendour and luxuries of Quoin Rock

    The Quoin Rock manor house. The controversies and scandals once surrounding the Stellenbosch estate Quoin Rock – before the current regime I hastily add – are fun to recall, but not to be much indulged here. I …

  7. Tim James: The writing and destruction of South Africa’s wine history

    Apparently Henry Ford didn’t quite say that “history is bunk” – he blinked, and included “more or less”. He added that he was talking about tradition, which, he said, we don’t want: “We want to live in …

  8. Tim James: Swartland wines – built to last or better young?

    How well do the once-new-wave Swartland wines mature in bottle – both whites (mostly chenin or chenin-based) and reds (mostly syrah or syrah-based)? We’re starting to amass useful evidence, although the changing climate is posing new questions about the vintage aspect, and vintage is a crucial …

  9. Tim James: The maverick who built Hemel-en-Aarde reconsidered

    “If you seek his monument, look around you.” So runs the epitaph (in Latin) on architect Christopher Wren’s tomb in St Paul’s Cathedral in London. It could work well as an epitaph for Tim Hamilton Russell in the Hemel…

  10. Tim James: Cape white wines still rule but the reds are rising

    There’s little doubt that the average standard of the Cape’s reds has improved in the last decade, at all levels – at the grander levels especially, when they’re not lightish, they’re that crucial bit fresher, less …

  11. Tim James: Leeu Passant – a Cape wine game-changer

    Nicolette Waterford, Bas Singh, Chris and Andrea Mullineux. When Indian businessman Analjit “Bas” Singh made a first visit to Cape Town in 2010 (bringing a soccer-mad son to the FIFA World Cup) it’s possible, I suppose, that he thought that …
