2007 Harvest - Rudera, South Africa

Teddy Hall - one of South Africa's finest

Over my years in the world of wine I have been privileged to meet and taste with some of the finest wine makers on the planet. When it comes to Chenin Blanc I can honestly say, without fear of contradiction, that probably the best of all is a good friend of mine - Teddy Hall of Rudera Wines in South Africa.

Teddy and his family spent three weeks with us just before the 2005 harvest, not only for a holiday, but also for an exchange of viticultural ideas (pictured above with Angela). Suffice to say that we learned a lot during our 'New World meets Old World summit'.

At this time of year Teddy is busy with his 2007 harvest, and you can actually witness his progress, and see some stunning South African scenery in this short video clip.
