Waterkloof winery, South Africa

Isn’t it funny how nobody who does family research ever traces themselves back to Godfrey, son of Godfrey, mediaeval street-sweeper extraordinaire?  Oh no, it’s always “King Henry VIII was my third cousin’s nephew, twice removed!” or “We can trace our family all the way back to Copernicus” or similar. You’d swear that the poor and the working classes were not allowed to procreate, given the suspicious prevalence of royalty’s/celebrities’ modern descendants! In a similar way, somehow we never picture our own death as the mundane, depressing failure-by-degrees, alone in a hospital bed which it so often is. Oh no – we picture ourselves tumbling out of the sky in aeroplanes sans engines; or gored to death while running with the bulls in Pamplona; or killed in an avalanche while skiing in Gstaad. In this vein, I found myself visualising headlines of my own tragi-comic demise recently on a trip to South Africa, in a Landrover in a vineyard, crushed by the weight of a number of unsecured crates of wine as the vehicle rolled.  Talk about living by the sword and dying by the sword…! But I am getting ahead of myself – let’s rewind a few hours.

When I was recently in Cape Town for the Food and Wine Blogger Indaba, Colleen and I were invited to pay a visit to Waterkloof winery, just below Sir Lowry’s Pass in Somerwet West after the Indaba was over.  So two days after the day ot total awesomeness that was the Indaba, we set out for Waterkloof. I say casually that we set out – more like we bundled up in our waterproofs, downed lots of coffee to make up for the general post-Indaba exhaustion, and battled our way along the N2 in insane driving rain and gusts of wind that theatened to push the car right off the road.  Wet and wild, people – wet and wild. We had arranged to meet up with the winery’s lovely Nadia Barnard at a small shopping centre so that we could transfer to her Landrover.  The main road to the farm was being tarred and we would have to take the back road in through the hills and vineyards – a journey that most family cars are not equipped to make.  And this, my friends, is how I wound up 10 minutes later in the back of a Landrover on its third attempt halfway up a slippery, muddy hill with the car leaning over at an alarming angle and all the other occupants of the back seat (a few rather heavy boxes full of wine bottles, and Colleen) rushing rapidly towards me to pin me to the door. I cannot tell a lie: there was a slight sense of humour failure on my part.

Thankfully Colleen’s husband (aka The Don) stepped in and used his army experience of driving jeeps to engage the 4-wheel drive and get us safely to the top of the hill. And what a view greeted us – a natural amphitheatre on the south-facing slopes of the Schapenbrg stretching seemingly all the way down to False Bay; row upon row of vines interspersed with green grass and flowers (a function of the vineyards being biodynamic); and an ultra-modern tasting venue and restaurant perched like a glass and concrete cube on the one slope overlooking the view.  Schapenberg in the Hottentots-Holland mountain range, only a few kilometres from the False Bay coastline.  It is a Dutch name meaning ‘Sheep Mountain’ because this used to be the hill where former Cape Colony Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel grazed his sheep, and it also served as his lookout post to identify visiting ships, allowing him to race into town and sell his produce before the competition could. There are already a few wine farms in the area and the planting of vineyards is increasing in this particularly cool-climate area of the designated Stellanbosch wine growing region. Although grapes have been planted on the Waterkloof since the early 1970s, they were usually sold to other wineries to be bottled, Wine importer Paul Boutinot took over the property just before the 2004 harvest, and the first wine bottled under the Waterkloof name was from the 2005 harvest.

A major new planting and replanting exercise was completed by 2008, with vineyard now covering 53 hectares of the 100 hectare farm. Their intention has always been to set aside the other half of the farm to preserve the rare and abundant natural vegetation, fauna and flora (fynbos) situated on the property.  The owners also felt that conventional wine farming methods (e.g. using chemical pesticides and fertilizers), combined with modern, standardized interventionist winemaking techniques (e.g using aromatic yeasts to create a signature aroma profile in a given wine), serve to diminish the differences between various vineyards and winegrowing areas and caues increasing levels of homogenisation.   this was one f the reasons why in 2008 it was decided to begin the conversion of Waterkloof to a fully-dledged biodynamic wine farm using minimally interventionist methods and equipment. This extends to using cow dung from their own cattle to make bacterial and fungal compost (e.g. preparation 500) to put life back into the soil; developing an earthworm farm using old wine barrels so as to have earthworm tea for the vegetable and herb garden; and housig their chickens in “chicken mobiles” parked in the vineyards so that they can run free through the vines eating all the vine weevils – and producing fresh organic eggs for the restaurant. Waterkloof was awarded Champion Status by the World Wildlife Fund’s Biodiversity & Wine Initiative for its efforts.

But with the weather as it was, we were definitely keen to spend more time in their state-of-the-art tasting venue rather than in the vineyards! The ultra-modern concrete and glass building (dubbed the “Cellar in the Sky” and designed by Australian firm Castle Rock Design) hangs improbably and dramatically off the hillside.  It incorporates a  triple-volume barrel maturation cellar, a state-of-the-art gravitational cellar, a modern tasting lounge and a glass box fine-dining restaurant featuring the uninterrupted mountain, vineyard and ocean views.  I particularly loved the private dining room that perched right at the very top of the building with breathtaking views; the modern chandeliers; and the interesting art that included tapestries and an intriguing 3D piece made up of blocks of red and grey wax. Given the weather, though, what interested us most was the log fire in the central fireplace!  After we had thawed out a little, we explored the building before settling down for a bit of wine tasting.

Waterkloof make three ranges of wine: Waterkloof (currently only a Sauvignon Blanc); Circle of Life; and Circumstance and we tried wines from the latter two ranges. We started with the whites: Circle of Life white 2011 (Sauv 30% , Chenin 60%, Chardonnay, Semillon) @ R120 had a slightly smoky, minerally nose, summer stone fruits on the palate, a very long finish and lovely rounded mouthfeel and flavours. This was my favourite white and also the wine that won Best White Wine at the London International Wine Fair this year.  Circumstance 2011 Chenin Blanc @ R90 was a clear pale yellow with not much fruit on the nose, but a palate like a mouthful of fresh peaches! Circumstance 2008 Chardonnay @ R90 had a buttery mouthfeel, but lovely crisp acidity; well balanced – to me, it tastes like a French Chablis. We the moved on to the reds and the Circumstance Merlot 2009 @ R140 had a nose that reminded my totally of Maynard’s wine gums (!) with a deep garnet colour, slight hints of greenness on the palate, soft tanins, a fairly light body and a medium finish. The Circumstance Syrah 2009 @ R155 had a deep ruby colour, an almost floral nose, and hints of smokiness, spice and burnt caramel on the palate with a medium finish.  The Circumstance Cab Sauv [email protected] R155 had a wonderfully deep colour and earthy, truffly flavours underlying dark berry fruit flavours and a long finish. But my favourite red was the blended Circle of Life Red 2009 @ R120 – just wow: DEEP colour, a cassis nose, big and bold on the palate with goodm supple tannins, and a hint of stemmness to balanced out the spicy vanilla finish (a medium length but very clean finish). And because Mankind cannot live by wine alone, to accompany this we also had a delicious selection of cheese including the award-winning mature Cheddar from Healy’s (which has recently been acquired by Waterkloof). Sadly, the restaurant was closed for refurbishment when we visited, but that gives me a great reason to go back and visit it next time I am in Cape Town.

If you are looking to visit a biodynamic wine estate that’s not too far from Cape Town and can offer you something a little different to the traditional Cape Dutch-style tasting venue, then I can highly recommend Waterkloof.  The range of wines may not be as big or as experimental as some other estates, but the spectacular setting and the friendly staff more than make up for this.

DISCLOSURE:  Colleen and I were guests of Waterkloof Wines on this occasion – thanks Nadia for looking after us so well!

    Love the sound of their bio-dynamic approach. I have just unearthed my free wine-tasting voucher from the Indaba goody bag. I was thinking I’d never get around to going there and it nearly ended up in the recycling, but maybe I should make the effort, now that you’ve inspired me!

    I did a fair bit of research on my family tree a couple of years ago. All I can say is ‘labourer’ labourer’ ‘labourer’ with the occasional rag seller!
    I met Louis Boutinot last year and have wanted to visit this vineyard for ages. What a spectacular location and their enthusiasm for biodynamic is impressive. Lucky you!

    As cold and wet as it looks, that fire looks just as inviting. The second picture is beautiful. I like that they are keeping half of the estate in its natural form. The modern look is also very different from the historic look so many other estates go for.

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
