Er zijn maar weinig wijnen, die zo goed zijn al De Toren The Black Lion. Menig wijnliefhebber zal meteen verliefd worden, alleen al horen bij de naam van deze wijn. Het is het kroonjuweel van het imposante wijnhuis de Toren, welke toonaangevend is in de regio Stellenbosch. Collega-wijnhuizen kijken jaloersmakend naar de torenhoge kwaliteit welke De Toren al jarenlang weet te genereren. Zij zijn gevestigd net te westen van de gemeente Stellenbosch, op ongeveer 40 kilometer van het centrum van Kaapstad. Zij werden groot met de aanplant van klassieke, Bordeaux rassen. Nog steeds weten zij jaar in jaar uit de meest geweldige wijnen te produceren. Niet alleen van Stellenbosch, maar van heel Zuid-Afrika.

De wijngaarden van De Toren

De wijnmakers van de Toren hebben echt alle aandacht voor hun wijngaarden. Zij bewijzen dat aandacht alles mooier maakt. Voor De Toren The Black Lion worden speciale wijngaarden geselecteerd. Alleen de best wijngaarden, waar klimaat en terroir geweldig zijn, worden gebruikt voor deze rode wijn van de Toren. Daarnaast worden de stokken geselecteerd door middel van infrarood. De oogst van de Syrah druiven, de basis van deze wijn, is enorm streng. Zo wordt er gemiddeld slechts 300 gram druiven per rank geplukt. Bijzonder weinig, maar dan wel van de allerbeste kwaliteit. De wijn rijpt eerst 12 maanden op nieuwe eikenhouten vaten. Na 12 maanden wordt de wijn overgepompt op andere nieuwe eikenhouten vaten, waar zij 6 maanden op rijpt. Hierdoor krijgt De Toren The Black Lion een enorm gecompliceerd karakter.

Indrukken van De Toren The Black Lion

Dit is geen rode wijn voor zomaar. Hier moet je voor gaan zitten. Je op verheugen maar vooral genieten van elke slok. Want het kan wellicht de laatste zijn. De flessen The Black Lion worden namelijk streng gelimiteerd vrijgegeven. Naast de aromatische geur en genereuze smaak, is het ook een zeldzaamheid om een fles The Black Lion in je wijnkast te hebben liggen. Maar wanneer je de rode wijn dan toch opent, dan kan het grote feest beginnen. De geur en de smaak zijn overweldigend. Krachtig, robuust en karaktervol. Veel zwart fruit, maar ook complexiteit van stoere specerijen en krachtige kruiden. De tannines zijn aanwezig maar haast van fluweel.

A book with so much heart
Format: Kindle
An absolutely delightful story with the perfect amount of spookiness. Light-hearted but also deep in its exploration of the ways we push down our own souls because of what we think others need.

Spooky Middle Grade Book
Format: Hardcover
I cannot explain how excited I was to hear that Ash Van Otterloo was putting out another book. I was a big fan of Cattywampus and was very excited once I read the summary of this book. I requested and was granted an ARC copy of this book by Scholastic in exchange for a fair and honest review. I don’t think I have the exact words to express how much I adore this book. I’ve only recently discovered that as an adult I can actually enjoy middle grade books and this book has probably become one of my new all-time favorite books ever. One of the biggest things that I adored about this book is the characters. Tennie is an absolute sweetheart who is way to willing to give up and hide pieces of herself for the sake of keeping the peace. It’s sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. I also love towards the end when she gets some fire in her. Fox was also quite a character. They’re kind of a bit much at times, but they’re also aware of their faults. They know that they can forget things and that they might annoy their friends, but they also try to soothe things over. I honestly really liked them, and it was really nice to see a character using they/them pronouns so casually. The two characters had a really nice dynamic with each other. They grew close quickly, the way kids do, and delved into a ghost hunting adventure. It was honestly really cute and heartwarming to watch them grow closer. This also felt really good because of Tennie and her desire to always be the peacekeeper. She even considered being friends with Fox and exploring the forest together as her being “selfish”. I just really loved it and their interactions made me so happy. It wasn’t always great, but it just gave me so much joy and I was constantly smiling. I did not expect to love the atmosphere that was created in this book. It was sufficiently spooky without being necessarily scary. It worked really well in the town of Howler’s Hollow. Howler’s Hollow is a town in the rural south, somewhere that’s not always popular with the LGBTQ+ community. The thing is, I don’t know if this book would have worked as well in other locations. It’s one of those towns where everyone seems to know everyone. It appears to be relatively close-knit, even if the people don’t always get on, and it has a great forest. The forest allows the atmosphere to be appropriately creepy while the people in the town add a source of information for Tennie and Fox. It was also built up very well and created an atmosphere that led to a great payoff at the end. I cannot fully encapsulate everything that I love about this book, but I will recommend it to everyone who asks. This book is fun and whimsical with a dark edge and serious topics that need to be explored. It might hurt at times when things are discussed, but it has a happy ending.

Magic, Mayhem, Ghosts and First Love!
Format: Hardcover
This book has it all: amazing Halloween feels, magic gone awry, ghosts wreaking havoc, family secrets, and even a delightful first crush! As a middle child, Tennie thinks it's her job to keep her big, rambunctious family in order, but she could really use a break. So she's thrilled when she gets the chance to stay with her grandma, away from all the family chaos, but that changes when she accidentally unleashes a whole host of restless spirits. And what's more, those spirits have something to tell her about grandma's mysterious new boyfriend, a secret that might upend everything she knows about her family and their beloved mountain home. This book is teeming with beautiful odes to nature and delightfully folksy language that draws readers into the cozy, bucolic Appalachian setting. The friendship and budding romance between Tennie and Fox shines off the page, and readers will experience all of the tingles, speed bumps and awkwardness of a first crush. Van Otterloo weaves a poignant tale about families going through tough times but ultimately finding hope and strength in each other, and, of course, it's all suffused with a delightful dose of oh-so-cozy magic. Layered alongside the family tale is an important storyline about protecting nature and valuing the "small" lives of country folk, which we can see by the end of the story are anything but small.

Folksy, spooky, downright darling
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Oh my goodness, this book. Ash Van Otterloo is quickly becoming one of my insta-read authors. Their folksy, spooky, downright darling stories are such a joy to read! A TOUCH OF RUCKUS was magnificent. I adored Tennie and Fox's relationship, the ghosts were creepy as heck, and the setting of a small, mountain-side town was as charming as ever. If I could eat pizza, I would have taken a bookstagram pic with it and this book! Boy, did it make me hungry!! 🍕
