  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • Blandy's 10 Year Old Verdelho Is Fined and Does Not Require PROVENANCE Decanting
    10 YEAR OLD VERDELHO THE FAMILY The Blandy’s family is unique for being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their original wine company. The family has played a leading role in the development of Madeira wine since the early nineteenth century. Blandy’s Madeira remains totally dedicated to the traditions, care, and craftsmanship of Madeira Wine for over 200 years. THE WINEMAKING Blandy’s 10 year old Verdelho is a blend of wines with an average of 10 years in seasoned American oak casks. The wines were aged at the family’s Lodge in Funchal in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system, whereby the wine is gradually transferred from the higher floors where the temperatures are higher, to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where temperatures are cooler. The process of transferring the barrels is absolutely critical to ensure the right balance of ullage and concentration. All through the ageing process, the primary fruit flavours of the wine are gently transformed into tertiary dried fruit notes that produce unique Madeira hallmark bouquet. This wine was regularly racked during this ageing process and was fined before bottling. TASTING NOTE A delightful, resinous bouquet with touches of mahogany bureau and hazelnut. The palate is crisp and taut on the entry, with vibrant acidity, and demonstrates more depth and chutzpah than its counterpart Sercial. The finish is focused with a subtle smoky note lingering after the wine has departed. WINEMAKER STORAGE & SERVING Francisco Albuquerque Blandy's 10 year old Verdelho is fined and does not require PROVENANCE decanting.

  • Radford Dale Range Tech Sheets
    Winery: The Winery of Good Hope Wine: Radford Dale Thirst Clairette Blanche Chenin Blanc Verdelho Vintage: 2015 Appellation: Stellenbosch Winemaker/Winegrower: Team effort Harvest Notes: The Chenin Blanc comes from Bush vines grown high up on an East facing slope with sandy, crunchy, decomposed granite soils. In this vineyard, there is no irrigation and the canopies are small so the fruit is exposed to the direct sunlight. The skins of the grapes are therefore phenolically ripe which add texture to this blend. Clairette Blanche comes from old vines of unknown age. They are planted on gravelly, decomposed granite soils with almost no clay. The vines have a sprawling growth pattern trained on low, single wire trellising. The grapes are picked early to retain natural freshness for the blend. The Verdelho comes from trellised vines with a more upright canopy on gravel and Koffieklip soil. Cellar & Blending Notes: Both the Chenin Blanc and Clairette Blanche were macerated on the skins to add depth and texture 4 days each prior to fermentation. Just as fermentation started spontaneously, the skins and juice were separated into old, neutral French oak barrels. We whole bunch pressed the Verdelho in an old traditional wooden basket press to obtain all natural acidity. Typically, Verdelho adds a high degree of acidity to a blend such as this. Tasting Notes: Thirst Clairette Blanche Chenin Blanc Verdelho is an unusual blend that explores how saltiness and acidity can enhance the overall freshness of a wine. Extended skin maceration before fermentation has added complexity. It has distinct minerality with lashings of green and stone fruits.
