THE ART OF WINEMAKING
Cellarmaster, winemaker and viticulturist Jean-Claude Martin of Creation Wines firmly believes that great wines are made in the vineyard, and most days he is the first one on the farm, walking the vineyards and communing with his plants. Having decided to become a winemaker at the age of 14, the Swiss-born JeanClaude completed his viticultural studies in 1991, at the age of nineteen. He then went on to qualify as a winemaker at the Swiss Federal School of Changins in 1995 - and has never looked back. "Making wine is a fairly simple process: you crush grapes, ferment the juice and bottle the product," says Jean-Claude. "The trick, however, is to make the right choice at each step of the process. Indeed, the decision making process begins long before the first grapes have started ripening on the vine. Soil composition, rainfall, prevailing winds, slope aspect, gradient and row direction - all influence the cultivars that will thrive and the quality of the fruit produced. "Even with careful planning the winemaker is always on a journey, learning from the vineyards and adjusting your style to best complement what you have to work with." For Jean-Claude this means monitoring and maintaining the Creation vineyards with Swiss precision and implementing vineyard practices to ensure that the vines are perfectly primed for production. Harvest once again requires not only skill and experience but also a certain intuition. Ask five winemakers what optimal physiological ripeness is and you'll get five different answers. Jean-Claude insists that flexibility is the key: "Learn from your previous vintages to determine what treatment best allows you to express the character of the fruit." In the cellar the choices abound: whole bunch fermentation vs. destemming, fermentation temperature, different yeast strains, length of skin contact and level of extraction during pressing. Lees contact and malolactic fermentation can drastically alter the personality and style of a wine and when it comes to oak maturation, different barrels with different levels of toast all give specific levels of integration and oak character. With an obvious passion and respect for his art, there can be no doubt what Jean-Claude is thinking about as he wanders through his vineyards in the early morning light: the choices he'll make for the next vintage.

Nosy Rosy South Africa’s Best Kept Secrets & Offers
October 2013 Newsletter
The weather is 'fresh' and there is Good Hope in the Cape even though summer is playing hide and seek & hard to get. Fortunately we have great wine, good women (even ones who make great wine) and much more than song to keep us warm and happy!
A special thank you to the Picnic team at Warwick Wine Estate for a Super day under the Oaks and spoiling Nosy Rosy rotten with all things good and wonderful. Highly recommended!
Western Cape Overberg Business HERMANUS Two of the finalists at the Gala Awards for the ABSA / CCC Awards on 10 October were Afrinatural Holdings and HIK Abalone Farm of Hermanus - the latter was also the winner in their category. Congratulations to both and well done Hermanus! Afrinatural Holdings got my serious attention when I spotted the first upmarket, organic, South African produced, bottled medicinal herbs at a local pharmacy. Sit up Dr. Vogel et al! I got so excited, I grabbed a bottle - which at closer inspection turned out to be a nutritional supplement which boosts testosterone levels, libido etc. I might exchange it for something more ladylike. They have an impressive range of immune system and energy builders. Afrinatural Holdings is a part of the rise of Africa in the world medicinal herb market! Reading more about their long road to success made my heart swell with pride and excitement. During 2012 Afrinatural Holdings decided to aggressively develop their abilities to supply Indigenous Oils, Butters and resins for the cosmetic & fragrances markets. To do so they decided to bring Karen Swanepoel, current president of the SA Essential Oils Association, on board to facilitate the selection and quality management of the still developing Oil pressing industry in Southern Africa. In this way they can offer quality African products while supporting real development projects in this sector. In Feb 2013 Afrinatural took over Zizamele Herbs with their design of the most exciting retail products – blended medicinal teas as well as capsules of well known and very useful indigenous products. Afrinatural has been recognised for their contribution to exports by the following Awards: • Runner Up in the Export category of the 2013 Entrepreneurship Recognition Awards hosted by the Premier of the Western Cape Province • FINALIST in 2013 Cape Town Chamber of Commerce Western Cape Exporter of the Year Awards
Responsible and See their websites: www.afrinatural.com & www.zizamele.com
irresistibly inspiring South African entrepreneurship!
Jobs & opportunities available: Afrinatural is obviously expanding both in their export and local retail sectors and is looking for individuals with drive. Contact Afrinatural at info@afrinatural.com regarding: • their retail products. • discussions to participate as distributors to • chemists / health shops (formal trade) • Spazas / hawkers and township outlets (informal trade) • potentially regarding proposals to supply raw materials.

Moussaka-A healthier,lighter version Most versions of moussaka are based on sautéed eggplant (aubergine), tomato and minced lamb or beef. The Greek version includes layers of meat and aubergine topped with a Béchamel sauce, and baked. On the other hand, Turkish mousakka, is not layered. It is prepared with sautéed aubergines, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and minced To see many more of Nina’s recipes click HERE.

The exhibition, Fragment, will take place at The Gallery in Riebeek Kasteel. Solly Smook has built a reputation for producing challenging works that evoke memories of emotion in the viewer beyond their aesthetic appeal. His work has drawn attention across the globe, and hangs in the homes of art lovers on five continents - from SA to Australia, Ireland to Buenos Aires. Whats happening in Riebeek Kasteel. Dried fruit chutney on smokey pork ribs is on my menu tonight and I must confess it has been on our menu quite a few times since the braai season started! Dried fruit is so often associated with winter, yet even in the midst of summer, it is hard to imagine Christmas without the joys of biting into a deliciously moist fruit cake of mom's Christmas pudding! However we are still a few months (weeks‌eeek) away from Christmas and I had a bag full of Safari dried fruit to use. Nina Timms braai recipes for summer We decided, on advice from friends, to take a day off and do a circular drive from Piketberg down to Elandsbaai across to Veldrift and back up to Piketberg. The reason was twofold, to look at the flowers, which have been rather spectacular this year, and to amble along enjoying the West Coast. Where to eat on the West Coast Childhood cancers are not always easy to spot - this is because they share general symptoms with other more common illnesses and children are thus often misdiagnosed, resulting in the cancer being detected too late or not at all. In SA up to 700 children per year die of cancer and it is estimated that at least half of all children with cancer in SA are never diagnosed. Read more about childhood cancer here...

Our guesthouse is situated on a pretty little farm in the West Coast region of the Western Cape, halfway between Piketberg and Velddrif, about 180km north of Cape Town. It is nestled in the beautiful valley of Kapteinskloof and is one of the oldest original Homesteads of this area. In 1988 the playwright Pieter Fourie started to renovate the houses, which date back to 1831. Through his love and passion for old architecture
