Two viticulturists, five top wines, and a plan for their own winery. The Carinus duo continue to make waves: winemag.co.za/wine/review/ca…

After fifteen vintages at Porseleinberg, Callie Louw has launched Sonkop in the Swartland's Joubertskloof. @TimJamesGrape visited for @Winemag.
The farm runs to 130 hectares at 400 metres, about 20 in production, including Chenin planted in the 1980s. The plan is a Shiraz-led red and a white built on the farm's old Chenin. The 2026 vintage was made at Vondeling while the cellar catches up.
The winemaker who made Porseleinberg's reputation has gone looking for the next one. Which other Swartland names are quietly doing the same?

The world makes great wine beyond Europe. So why does the Old World still charge so much more? 50 years after the Judgement of Paris, the price gap has actually widened. Is it justified by quality, or are we paying for prestige? @michaelfridjhon writes for us: winemag.co.za/wine/opinion/m…

Winemakers leave. Properties change hands. Reputations rise and fall. Yet some names endure. Looking back at 2006 reveals a Cape wine industry transformed in 20 years, where continuity is hard-won and succession remains a challenge. What survives the next two decades? winemag.co.za/wine/opinion/e…
