Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kanonkop's Johann Krige: The Pinotage Still Stunning After 50 Years | South Africa Series Part 4 of 5
Q: What is one thing that Americans get wrong about their perception of South Africa or South African wine?
Krige says some drinkers unfairly dismiss all Pinotage after disliking one example. He also says low-quality South African wines flooded export markets after trade sanctions ended in the early 1990s, damaging the country's reputation for decades.
Kanonkop's Johann Krige: The Pinotage Still Stunning After 50 Years | South Africa Series Part 4 of 5
Q: Can you walk me through the thinking about how the shorter fermentation actually extracts or makes, in your opinion, a better wine?
Krige says open fermenters and quick, carefully monitored extraction suit Kanonkop's full-bodied, structured style and help produce wines with stable color and long aging potential.
Beyond Expectations Lars Maack: A Farm Bought by Accident, Built on Sauvignon Blanc | South Africa Series Part 5 of 5
Q: Where did you even get cuttings for Sauvignon Blanc?
Maack says his father smuggled the cuttings into South Africa during apartheid, when there was little international interaction between wine industries.
Beyond Expectations Lars Maack: A Farm Bought by Accident, Built on Sauvignon Blanc | South Africa Series Part 5 of 5
Q: What brought you to South Africa and to Constantia?
Maack says his father had friends in South Africa and was offered the farm over drinks in a pub at a price he could not resist. His family had experience in transport logistics and horse breeding, but no vineyard background.
Jacques Viljoen & Greg Guy: Boschendal, South Africa's 340-Year-Old Wine Farm | South Africa Series Part 1 of 5
Q: What do you hope for Boschendal for the next 10, 20, 30 years?
Greg Guy hopes Boschendal becomes as well known and recognizable in the United States as it is elsewhere, building on its heritage and the growing number of American visitors to South Africa.
