SPECIAL CUVÉE WHITE 2017 VARIETALS: Verdelho | Chenin Blanc | Roussanne With wine having played a profound role in the culinary journey which lead to his becoming South Africa’s first Michelin-starred chef, Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen has launched his first wines under his own label. Both white and red wines, named after his award-winning restaurant JAN which is based in Nice, France, are blended from grape varieties grown on one of South Africa’s leading organic wine farms, Org de Rac in the Swartland region. Both the JAN white and red are inspired by Mediterranean wine styles, which he has grown to love since living in the South of France. CELLAR: The early harvest of the three varietals mainly contributes to the fruity, light and easy-drinking attibutes. Thereafter we wait for the increase in sugar levels produced by the vine for the remaining grapes to gain more concentration. A percentage of the juice was fermented in new barrels and older fills with the remaining fermented on a light concentration of selected staves. YIELD PER HECTARE: ex early harvesting 5 ton ANALYSIS: Alc : 13.35% RS : 1.7 g/l pH : 3.15 TA : 6.4 g/l TASTING NOTES: Colour: Deep gold to rich honey with a vivacious green tint. Nose: Fresh and aromatic with no real varietal dominance. Complex aromas of white stone fruit, citrus and baked peach with roasted almond are complemented by well- integrated undertones of soft wood. Taste: Crisp and zippy yet with depth of fruit against a subtle wood backdrop. The wine has a pronounced mouthfeel with velvety creaminess on the aftertaste. “Like tasting a sauce and adding more of this and less of that until it is just right for the chef’s palate, so the wines were constructed,I am really pleased the way the wines have turned out. Both have fruit-forward flavour components, but it is the complexity and depth of flavours that a chef looks for. For my palate, at least, I am happy to report that both wines met the criteria I was looking for. I look forward to introducing them to the wine-loving public in South Africa and Europe and, of course, to my clients at JAN. And I hope they play a role in helping the world to discover the magic of South African wines.”.

Roussanne06 Printable Wine Page.Indd
T ABLAS CREEK VINEYARD ROUSSANNE 2006 The 2006 Tablas Creek Vineyard Roussanne is Tablas Creek’s fi fth national release of its 100% Roussanne. The wine is exuberantly and elegantly in character of the Roussanne grape, with honey, honey- suckle, and pear aromatics, a rich, viscous mouthfeel with just a hint of oak, and a long, lingering fi nish. We use most of our Roussanne in our Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc each year. However, we often have some Roussanne lots in the cellar that are so powerfully characteristic of the varietal that we feel they would be too dominant in a blend. In these cases, we reserve a small quantity of this powerful Roussanne for a single-varietal bottling. As with all our wines, our Roussanne grapes were grown on our 120-acre certifi ed organic estate vineyard. The 2006 vintage was a study of contrasts, with a cold, wet start, a very hot early summer, a cool late summer and a warm, beautiful fall. Ample rainfall in late winter gave the grapevines ample groundwater, and produced relatively generous crop sizes. The relatively cool late- season temperatures resulted in a delayed but unhurried harvest, wines with lower than normal alcohols, strong varietal character, and good acids. The Roussanne grapes were whole cluster pressed, and fermented using native yeasts half in stainless steel and half in small French oak barrels. The wine was left on its lees for 6 months, and allowed to complete malolactic fermentation. After fermentation the wines were blended, and bottled in May 2007. The 2006 Roussanne is a vibrant expression of the Roussanne grape.

To the Gold Coast for Gold
TO THE GOLD COAST FOR GOLD A PERSONAL NARRATIVE VOL. I. BY RICHARD F. BURTON PREFACE. The following extract from 'Wanderings in West Africa,' a book which I wrote in 1862 and published (anonymously) in 1863, will best explain the reasons which lately sent me to Western Africa:— In several countries, for instance, Dinkira, Tueful, Wásá (Wassaw), and especially Akim, the hill-region lying north of Accra, the people are still active in digging gold. The pits, varying from two to three feet in diameter, and from twelve to fifty deep (eighty feet is the extreme), are often so near the roads that loss of life has been the result. 'Shoring up' being little known, the miners are not unfrequently buried alive. The stuff is drawn up by ropes in clay pots, or calabashes, and thus a workman at the bottom widens the pit to a pyriform shape; tunnelling, however, is unknown. The excavated earth is carried down to be washed. Besides sinking these holes, they pan in the beds of rivers, and in places collect quartz, which is roughly pounded. They (the natives) often refuse to dig deeper than the chin, for fear of the earth 'caving in;' and, quartz-crushing and the use of quicksilver being unknown, they will not wash unless the gold 'show colour' to the naked eye. As we advance northwards from the Gold Coast the yield becomes richer…. It is becoming evident that Africa will one day equal half-a-dozen Californias…. Will our grandsons believe in these times … that this Ophir—that this California, where every river is a Tmolus and a Pactolus, every hillock is a gold-field—does not contain a cradle, a puddling-machine, a quartz-crusher, a pound of mercury? That half the washings are wasted because quicksilver is unknown? That whilst convict labour is attainable, not a company has been formed, not a surveyor has been sent out? I exclaim with Dominie Sampson—'Pro-di-gious!' Western Africa was the first field that supplied the precious metal to mediaeval Europe.

2018 Roussanne
TEXAS HIGH PLAINS 2018 e Wine: Roussanne, originating from the Rhone Valley, has found a home in the Texas High Plains. Our Roussanne produces a distinctively rich white wine with wonderful aromatics reminiscent of tropical fruit, pineapple and honeysuckle. e palate is equally rich with hints of citrus, Mandarin orange, grilled nectarines and a light acidity. AVA: e Texas High Plains is the second largest AVA in Texas, comprising roughly 8 million acres in west Texas, mostly south of the panhandle region. e eastern border of the Texas High Plains AVA follows the 3000 elevation contour line along the Caprock Escarpment, the steep transitional zone separating the High Plains from the lower plains to the east. e elevation within the Texas High Plains gradually increases from 3,000 . to 4,100 . in the northwest portion of the AVA. is positioning provides an environment of long, hot dry summer days, which allow the grapes to mature and ripen to proper sugar levels, and cool evenings and nights, which help set the grape’s acidity levels. Grapes and wine have been produced in this region since the mid-1970s and vineyards here have become the major grape supplier to wineries throughout the state. ere are over 75 Wine Grape Varietals planted in the High Plains AVA, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Grenache, Merlot, Malbec, Dolcetto, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, and Viognier. Wine Makers Notes: We aged our Roussanne in new French Oak Barrels to provide a kiss of oak before moving the wine into stainless to complete its maturation. No malolactic fermentation was required with this grape as acidity is naturally so and the grape complex in phenolics.

Jancis Robinson
The Great Island Madeira Tasting 5 May 2010 by Jancis Robinson These pictures show just part of the archive of sales ledgers bequeathed to the Madeira Wine Company by Noel Cossart, author of one of the most authoritative books on the wine (along with Alex Liddell's more recent work). They date from 1774, 21 years before the oldest wine we tasted was made, and seem to me to illustrate most appropriately the historic nature of this extraordinary drink. The notes below on 43 of the finest madeiras back to 1795 were taken at an extraordinary tasting on the island last week described in The miracle of madeira and What a tasting! The notes are presented in the order the wines were served, which was dictated strictly by age rather than sweetness level. In fact one of the more extraordinary things about these wines was how few of them tasted particularly sweet. Presumably the explanation lies in these wines' exceptionally high levels of acidity. Most of the wines were labelled with the names of the four best-known classic grapes of Madeira - Sercial, Verdelho, Boal and Malvasia - but we also tasted four Terrantez, which demonstrated just how very firm and long-lived wines made from this variety are, and a Bastardo. One of the younger Blandys is planting Terrantez once more. Barbeito made a few hundred litres of Bastardo in 2007 but in 2008 yields were almost non existent. 'I'm learning', said Ricardo Diogo Freitas. 'At the beginning, everything is bad with Bastardo.' My suggested drinking dates are even more speculative than usual in these tasting notes, not least because madeira lasts so many decades, and many of the wines are just so old.

Classification of Boal, Malvazia, Sercial and Verdelho Wines Based on Terpenoid Patterns Food Chemistry
Food Chemistry Food Chemistry 101 (2007) 475–484 www.elsevier.com/locate/foodchem Classification of Boal, Malvazia, Sercial and Verdelho wines based on terpenoid patterns Jose´ Sousa Caˆmara a,*, Maria Arminda Alves b, Jose´ Carlos Marques a a Madeira Chemistry Research Center, Depto. de Quı´mica da Universidade da Madeira, Campus Universita´rio da Penteada, 9000-390 Funchal, Portugal b Depto. de Enga Quı´mica, Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Rua Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal Received 2 January 2006; received in revised form 30 January 2006; accepted 6 February 2006 Abstract Thirty-six Madeira wine samples from Boal, Malvazia, Sercial and Verdelho white grape varieties were analyzed in order to estimate the free fraction of monoterpenols and C13 norisoprenoids (terpenoid compounds) using dynamic headspace solid phase micro-extrac- tion (HS-SPME) technique coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The average values from three vintages (1998–2000) show that these wines have characteristic profiles of terpenoid compounds. Malvazia wines exhibits the highest values of total free monoterpenols, contrary to Verdelho wines which had the lowest levels of terpenoids but produced the highest concentration of farnesol. The use of multivariate analysis techniques allows establishing relations between the compounds and the varieties under investigation. Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were applied to the obtained matrix data. A good separation and classification power between the four groups as a function of their varietal origin was observed. Ó 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
