University of Cape Town ‘A measure of civilization’ Let us always remember that our historical buildings are not only big tourist attractions… more than just tradition…these buildings are a visible, tangible history. These buildings are an important indication of our level of civilisation and a convincing proof for a judgmental critical world - that for more than 300 years a structured and proper Western civilisation has flourished and exist here at the southern point of Africa. The visible tracks of our cultural heritage are our historic buildings…they are undoubtedly the deeds to the land we love and which God in his mercy gave to us. 1 2 Fig.1.

  • Boschendal Heritage Black Angus 2016 Tasting Sheet
    This iconic wine estate and pride of the Cape is situated between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. With over 333 years of winemaking heritage, 2017 marked the release of the pinnacle of Boschendal’s wine portfolio – the Boschendal Heritage Collection. To mark this auspicious event, the first two of three wines in this range of limited release, meticulously crafted red wines were made available to wine connoisseurs in 2017 - the Boschendal Grande Syrah 2014 and Black Angus 2014. Vintage: 2016 Cultivar: Shiraz 59%, Cab Sauv 25%, Merlot 11%, Malbec 5% Wine of Origin: Stellenbosch In the Vineyard: This interesting and captivating wine is Shiraz - based (59%), rounded off by Cabernet Sauvignon (25%), Merlot (11%) and Malbec (5%). This is the original ‘Estate Blend’ of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon that Boschendal launched in the 1980’s under the Grand Reserve label. But our winemaking team has decided to add more complexity and intricacy in the blend with the addition of Merlot and Malbec for style and sophistication. Vinification: The grapes were harvested by hand and carefully sorted upon arrival at the cellar. All 4 varietals are vinified separately and after malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, barrel maturation followed in a combination of new and older 300-litre barrels for 18 months. The wines were then blended and bottled in the new Boschendal Heritage bottle. Tasting Notes: This proprietary Shiraz-led blend takes its name from the bloodline of Black Angus cattle bred on Boschendal. The wine is full-bodied with black pepper and cherry flavours on the nose and a rich and complex palate.

  • A Brief History of Wine in South Africa Stefan K
    European Review - Fall 2014 (in press) A brief history of wine in South Africa Stefan K. Estreicher Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051, USA Vitis vinifera was first planted in South Africa by the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. The first wine farms, in which the French Huguenots participated – were land grants given by another Dutchman, Simon Van der Stel. He also established (for himself) the Constantia estate. The Constantia wine later became one of the most celebrated wines in the world. The decline of the South African wine industry in the late 1800’s was caused by the combination of natural disasters (mildew, phylloxera) and the consequences of wars and political events in Europe. Despite the reorganization imposed by the KWV cooperative, recovery was slow because of the embargo against the Apartheid regime. Since the 1990s, a large number of new wineries – often, small family operations – have been created. South African wines are now available in many markets. Some of these wines can compete with the best in the world. Stefan K. Estreicher received his PhD in Physics from the University of Zürich. He is currently Paul Whitfield Horn Professor in the Physics Department at Texas Tech University. His biography can be found at http://jupiter.phys.ttu.edu/stefanke. One of his hobbies is the history of wine. He published ‘A Brief History of Wine in Spain’ (European Review 21 (2), 209-239, 2013) and ‘Wine, from Neolithic Times to the 21st Century’ (Algora, New York, 2006). The earliest evidence of wine on the African continent comes from Abydos in Southern Egypt.

  • Archaeological Assessment of Portions 7/1674 and 10/1674 of the Boschendal Estate
    Archaeological Assessment of Portions 7/1674 And 10/1674 Of The Boschendal Estate. Report prepared for Sarah Winter on behalf of the proponent Boschendal March 2015 Prepared by Natalie Kendrick Tim Hart ACO associates CC 8 Jacobs Ladder St James 7945 Phone 021 7064104 1 Summary ACO Associates CC was appointed by Boschendal Estates, to undertake an archaeological assessment of a proposed development of the “New Village Boschendal”, on a section of the Boschendal estate. The proposed activity has triggered section 38.8 of the National Heritage Resources Act which requires the completion of an Archaeological Impact Assessment. The proponent wishes to construct mixed density residential housing and general business buildings, including retail. Sarah Winter is undertaking the Heritage Impact Assessment of which this report is a specialist component. The proposed development is situated on mixed land straddling Helshoogte Road (R310), and just off the R45 in Stellenbosch on portions 7/1674 and 10/1674. Currently the land contains some residential housing, orchards, unused land with uninhabited labourers cottages and a saw mill. Findings: The site is not archaeologically sensitive as it has been heavily transformed. No clear evidence of Early or Middle Stone age archaeological material was encountered, nor are there any buildings that require grading. Grading: Indications are that there are no finds worthy of grading in terms of HWC’s draft policy document on the grading of archaeological sites (in prep 2015). No mitigation is called for. There
