Chenin Blanc
Chenin blanc (, ; known also as Pineau de la Loire among #Synonyms, other names) is a white wine grape variety from the Loire Valley (wine), Loire Valley of France (wine), France. Its high acidity (wine), acidity means it can be used to make varieties from sparkling wines to well-balanced dessert wines, although it can produce very bland, neutral wines if the vine's natural vigor is not controlled. Outside the Loire, it is found in most of the New World wine regions; it is the most widely planted variety in South African wine, South Africa, where it was historically also known as Steen ( ). The grape may have been one of the first to be grown in South Africa by Jan van Riebeeck in 1655, or it may have come to that country with Huguenots fleeing France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Chenin blanc was often misidentified in Australia, as well, so tracing its early history in the country is not easy. It may have been introduced in James Busby's collection of 1832 ...

Het Steen
Het Steen is a medieval fortress in the old city centre of Antwerp, Belgium, one of Europe's biggest ports. The surviving structure was built between 1200 and 1225 as a gateway to a larger castle of the Dukes of Brabant which was demolished in the 19th century. As the first stone fortification (city wall) of Antwerp, Het Steen is Antwerp's oldest building and used to be part of its oldest urban centre. The words "Het Steen", translated from Dutch mean "the rock" in English, although that is not the equivalent etymological meaning. History The first documented mention of Antwerp (fortified) city dates back to the 12th century. However, there was a settlement and a castle (donjon) here as early as the Carolingian period in the 9th century. The first fortifications may have been built after the Viking incursions in the early Middle Ages; in 879 the Normans invaded Flanders. The Margraviate of Antwerp came into being around 974. The Duchy of Lower Lotharingia was part of the Ho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Het Steen (Elewijt)
Het Steen ( or 'The Rock'), also known as the Rubens Castle (''Rubenskasteel''), is a castle in Elewijt, Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It was owned by the artist Peter Paul Rubens between 1635 and his death in 1640 and the castle features in some of his landscape paintings. Early history The castle's origins date to 1304. A small stream called the Baerebeek runs through the castle grounds. ''Rubenskasteel'' The painter Peter Paul Rubens purchased Het Steen as a country estate in May 1635 for 93,000 guilders along with the historic noble title Lord (''Seigneur'') of Steen. Rubens intended to use the castle as a summer residence as he already owned a substantial mansion in Antwerp about two hours away by carriage. Rubens moved into the castle with his family in November 1635. He died in 1640. The castle features in a number of Rubens's most celebrated landscape paintings including '' The Rainbow Landscape'' (Wallace Collection, 1636), '' A View of Het Steen in the Early Morning'' ...
