Agree with the below comment. In the UK too many supermarkets have a small range of poor quality South African wines that still give the consumer a poor impression of what is available. There are now lots of on-line wine merchants that offer a good selection of wines if you know what you are looking for. Unfortunately some of the better wines are now getting expensive compared to offerings from Chile and Argentina. It is a pity that some of the excellent wines I tried in South Africa which sold there for a less than $7 are triple that price when they hit the shelves here!
Great interview, Jordan! I think there is still a gap between the reputation and reality. Years of cheap cooperative-lead exports in the 90’s ruined their reputation abroad and now they’re facing an uphill battle...exciting region for us collectors, no doubt.
Some Chateauneuf du Pape, as some Wines in Langudoc are aged in the Big Barrel, not in the bottle. I have chance to taste a Chateauneuf du Pape 1972 (Xavier Vignon) two years ago. It was an aged one but still having certain impressive freshness. Really gorgeous. Of course, just as you say the barrel was forgotten by the producer in his vineyard🤣. But in fact their are some producer, especially in Langudoc, Rhone regions, like to "élever" as in French their red wine in the big barrel and to bottle them many years (6, 8 even, 10) later to sell. For example, the famous Chateauneuf du Pape, Rayas, we have to wait for more than eight years to buy the so called "new" wine; Or such as Peyre Rose, excellent domaine in Languedoc, you can probably only find their red wines of 2012 or 2013 in sell this year (2024).
Excellent video! Loved the history lesson given and all the knowledge around the area. Visited the area back in the early 2000s. So gorgeous but the Castles, hahahaa so many, so epic. Then drove to Cahors…
Thank you. Your comments are appreciated, often we are offered a new wine and have knowledge of it. I have bought a case of Attuale and think it is good value.
@6:55--Anybody want to weigh in--Why did he say "You'll never want to eat lamb again"...Because it's so plentiful, or it's so bad(gamey, which I like in a stew, or tough like mutton)?
Thanks for that presentation. Really appreciate the sense of humor and wit - too many wine experts take themselves too seriously. Just picked up a 2011 La Celestiere CdP to try along a 2014 Cosme Gigondas.
