Description

Modern Wineries of South Africa

PHOTOGRAPHY CRAIG FRASER
WRITING HUGH FRASER
DESIGN & PRODUCTION LIBBY DOYLE

In 2002 there were 202 wineries in SA in 2010 there are 585 farms producing wine, the industry is mushrooming. Wine making techniques change and technology evolves and with the introduction of new capital into this industry people are doing everything they can to capture a niche in the highly competitive market. South Africa is part of the new world of wine, the wineries presented in this book are a representation of the evolution of the industry, the way it appeals through architecture and philosophy to the sophisticated wine drinking market. Organic is the new buzzword in farming, gravity processing of grapes is popular, hand sorting is favoured among the discerning, each wine maker has their preferred methods and there are aesthetic concerns too, creating a brand that appeals on so many levels.

Spirit of Africa, the call of the wild places.
Spirit of Africa, the call of the wild places.
Spirit of Africa transports you to some of the continent’s last remaining wild places. This selection of powerful landscape, wildlife and people images, underpinned by evocative, sometimes poignant, personal anecdotes and hard-hitting conservation stories, reflect Scott’s deep connection with nature. Spirit of Africa is a call to the modern world to recognise that the protection of African wilderness is now more important than ever – not only for the preservation of biodiverse landscapes and endangered species, but also to fortify the human spirit. • The most extensive collection of fine-art imagery from Africa’s national parks and wilderness in countries including South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe. • 150 spectacular, large-scale images, both colour and black and white, of landscapes, wildlife, ocean, rivers, skies and people. • Insightful and science-informed text that highlights many of the conservation challenges facing iconic species such as lions, elephants and pangolins. • Explores the essential personal connection that all humans around the world have with African wilderness. • Images of animals include the gorillas of Congo, the wildebeest migration in Serengeti and the flying lions of Busanga Plains in Zambia, but also less obvious – yet no less fascinating – subjects such as bees and geckos.

Constantia Glen
“The evocative journey behind a jewel in the Cape’s winemaking crown.”
This book is a celebration of Constantia Glen’s rocketing success – it’s an historical account, rich in scale, but it’s also the intimate story of a family whose determined vision is underwritten by a deep love for this land. It pays homage to the finely-tuned contemporary operations and advances behind its world-class wine-making, the Constantia Glen team’s unflinching commitment to quality in everything that they do and an honouring of the ‘extended family,’ the Constantia Glen staff – some of whom have worked on the farm for decades. “There’s a lot to be said for continuity,” says Alexander Waibel. “It’s in the way we learn about our vineyards and the way we value the people who work in them.”

Memory Against Forgetting
Memory Against Forgetting
Memory Against Forgetting, by Ranjith Kally "He captured iconic scenes, such as his portrait Umkumbane, which has come to symbolise the shimmering jazz age of African townships in the 1950s. When Miriam Makeba returned to Maseru, Lesotho, for a concert for black South Africans at the height of apartheid, Kally too ventured to Lesotho and returned home with a remarkable image of an exiled singer poised between joy and heartbreak. And in a series of unflinching portraits, he documented with probity the horror of the forced removals in Natal. In short, the wider appreciation of his contribution to our struggle for dignity needs to remembered and fully embraced for current South Africans intent on honouring their past."
