Editorial: 2015 vs 2017 – which vintage holds up? https://t.co/63BLIipLnM

[Christo le Riche @ChristoleRiche]

@ChristianEedes Thanks @ChristianEedes! That was a single vineyard from Jonkershoek. Unfortunately replanted to Chardonnay in 2008. Our first 3 vintages all had only 12 months in oak. When you start a business cash flow is king...

Associate Editors Nathan Slone and Andrii Stetsiuk sat down with Mike Ratcliffe of Vilafonté and Christo le Riche of Le Riche to discuss Stellenbosch wines and the unique microclimate of the region that allows for Bordeaux varietals to grow here. They're champions of the region.

@MaluLambert @jamiegoode @Labelsandgrapes @mikeratcliffe I wouldn't limit the discussion to Napa. Its also not our style, or rather a style we do well. But, from an American point of view they are great.

@jamiegoode @jdrsampson @GenWine4 @mikeratcliffe @stellenboschcab @StellWineRoute @brucebusiness @Thekiso_AL @areniglobal @richardsiddle @KaapzichtWines @KanonkopEstate @waterfordestate @onanotherplane @SundayExpres That hits the strategy bang on, but there are many more markets that significantly undervalue Cape wine in general.

@BestyMike @BoutinotWines Congratulations!! Are we losing you at Third floor?

@MaluLambert @darylbalfour @StellWineRoute @leRicheWines 🤫😉🤣

[Christo le Riche @ChristoleRiche]

@Blackwaterwine Nope, but it does make for some good Safari raisins😭 Poor berries don't have the tannin to rebuff the UV.

@Blackdelilah Ek het 2 dosyn op die water van hulle af! Daai sou een van Matthias se eerste oesjare gewees het.

[Christo le Riche @ChristoleRiche]

@janeansonwine How old are the vines? New plantings or old warriors? I love this shift from the norm though!

[Christo le Riche @ChristoleRiche]

@MullineuxWines Well done! My last 100 pages has been waiting for me for 3 years. Can't get myself to pick it up again😂

@JamesPurefoy When are you coming to @StellWineRoute? It's an easy overnight hop across the pond!
