They also happen to be the people with their names or brands on the label. They usually operate out of smaller wineries, often having quit large corporate wine companies, and they almost always enjoy instant, mini-cult status on release of their own wines, assuming that they stack up. South Africa hasn’t had many YGs until recently."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 23px;"> </span></span><br />

Pictures from the 2011 Swartland Revolution. We know we are a tad late, but it took us a while to recover, and then we wanted to wait for the full selection of pictures from 'neighbour' (it's a long bumpy drive to the Porseleinberg, but we still consider Callie & Maree neighbours) and photographer Maree, cause you know, we like to be a little different.<br />

<br />
Adi (a future legend) and his father-in-law Jan 'Boland' Coetzee (a present legend) BOTH made it into the selected few, among greats like Tony Mossop, Charles Back, Günter Brözel, John Platter and neighbour / fellow <a href="http://www.theswartlandrevolution.com/">Swartland Revolutionary</a> Eben Sadie.<br />
<br />
Although we believe Adi already has legend status, we are honored.<br />

</div><div style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="fbUnderline" style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Preparation</strong></span></span></div><ol style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 25px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 0px;"><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Take your shoulder out of the fridge and leave it at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, preset your oven to 90-100°C (no more, this is one of the key elements!). If you’re not sure about your old oven, put a small bowl with water in your oven. If after 20 minutes, it starts boiling…your oven is wrong…lower it down. We want the meat to “confit”, it has then to be just a little <span>below boiling point</span>!</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In the meantime, open your chilled AA Badenhorst Secateur’s white. Have a little sip! Put back in the fridge. Go to step 2</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">With a sharp knife, cut the thyme and rosemary until fine.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">On a board, rub the lamb with olive oil, then salt (don’t be shy, the salt will help get the skin crispy), crushed pepper, and the herbs.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Transfer to a large plate and put in the oven. Add the garlic (break the heads into pods, but leave the skin on)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Have another sip of Secateur, you deserve it!</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Let the meat in the oven for 1 hour. By then you should have a little rendered fat. Baste the meat with it.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Add about 20 cl of Secateur on top of the shoulder. (I know it’s hard…)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">From now on, baste the meat once every 30 minutes.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">You don’t have to drink leftover Secateur every 30 minutes, but I highly recommend it!</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Put another Secateur White in your fridge…You never know…</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">After 3 hours of cooking, wrap the shank (only the shank!) in aluminum foil (to prevent it from getting dry). Take the garlic pods out, they should be soft and golden. Put them in a bowl.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Have another sip of Secateur.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">After 4h30-5 hours, your meat should be ready, almost melting in your mouth. The Chenin mixed with the rendered fat will have coated the meat, leaving a shiny gloss on it…Let it rest 15 minutes in your oven (opened door) to release the juices.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Serve the meat very quickly and enjoy with a red blend from AABadenhorst (a perfect match!)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">As side dishes, you can either serve a nice homemade mash (potatoes or sweet ones, with the added confit garlic pods), green beans, or whatever you like. There will be no sauce, so you can always serve with good French mustard.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Enjoy with friends</span></li>
