Son las 14 vendimias trabajadas en una de las viñas más antiguas de aquel espacio del valle de San Antonio. Desde esa posición cuenta parte de su historia, desarrollo y potencial de crecimiento en calidad, donde la influencia marina impone su sello, tanto como cada detalle de sus múltiples terruños y personajes en torno al vino. Conversamos con ella, también, de la 11° versión de Vinos de Proa, evento que reúne a las viñas del sector, como símbolo de los pasos que se dan en torno a una identidad viñatera en toda esa zona.

Wine: 2023 Giesen Uncharted Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough $20.99 

Why I chose it: 

- I wanted to choose a wine that would put a smile on the face of the largest number of people as a sort of Christmas present to listeners who enjoy wine. 

- Sauvignon Blanc is our biggest selling wine both locally and overseas.

- Giesen is a large, quality conscious producer of Sauvignon Blanc.

- I recently tasted this wine in a blind line-up and it performed very well.

- NZ makes the world’s best SB according to many top wine critics (We make 25% of the world’s SB).

What does it taste like? 

- “Sweet acid” sounds like a contradiction in terms but to me it describes an important component of this wine perfectly. Gentle sauvignon with good intensity of passionfruit, guava, grapefruit flavours with a gooseberry undercurrent. 

Why it’s a bargain:

$20.99 is an average price for Sauvignon Blanc but this is a well-above average quality wine.

Where can you buy it? 

- New World $17.99 (check the vintage, wait for 2023)

- Glengarry Wines in Auckland (2022) $18.99

- Vineonline $17.99 

Food match? 

- Most seafoods, great with clams/cockles 

Will it keep? 

- Drink up

This is a tale of deception, daring, disaster...and deliverance.

It also features skinny sheep and wine robots.

It's the story of Marlborough, the iconic New Zealand wine region which is celebrating its 50th wine birthday, after vines were planted by Frank Yukich in August 1973.

Yukich had risked personal financial ruin getting to this point. 'Wines from here will become world famous!' he declared. 

Shortly after which most of the vines died from drought.

But no adventure story is without its supreme setbacks. And this story features everything from the Queen to gut-rot via shiny tractors.

On the wine front, it's sobering to think just how far Marlborough has come in 50 harvests, from a shaky start to sensational Sauvignon Blanc and much more besides. It's a region helping set the global agenda for the wine of the future - and a tribute to the imaginative, resilient Kiwi spirit.

This is a sponsored episode in collaboration with New Zealand Winegrowers. We taste and recommend the following wines from Marlborough:

• Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2022
• Brancott Estate Chosen Rows Sauvignon Blanc 2015
• Hans Herzog Zweigelt 2017
• Hans Herzog Spirit of Marlborough 2016
• Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2022
• Greywacke Wild Sauvignon 2021
• Lawson's Dry Hills Reserve Chardonnay 2021
• Blank Canvas Reed Chardonnay 2022
• Villa Maria Seddon Pinot Gris 2020
• Wairau River Pinot Noir 2021

Irgendwo zwischen Rockstar & Winzer

Als Teenager hat sich Michi Lorenz ein Rockstarleben erträumt. Und irgendwie wurde der Traum auch wahr, nur eben anders, als damals gedacht: Heute sind die Jahrgänge seine Alben, auf Tour ist er damit eben auf Messen und Verkostungen. Seit seinem Einstieg am Familienweingut 2003 hat Michi so einiges an Entwicklungen durchgemacht und zwischendurch immer wieder herbe Rückschläge einstecken müssen. Statt steirischer Klassik fokussiert er sich heute großteils auf Naturwein, mit 2020 hat er in der Biodynamie die optimale Bewirtschaftungsweise für seine Weingärten gefunden – auch wenn das auf den steilen Hängen des Kitzeck-Sausal nicht immer ganz einfach ist.

Die Weine von Michi Lorenz findet ihr bei Wick's Fine Wine, darunter natürlich auch den Sauvignon Blanc Halo 2020, der kostet rund € 40,00. Wenn ihr den Michi nach den Unwetterschäden und Hangrutschen direkt unterstützen möchtet, könnt ihr auch direkt bei ihm bestellen. Im Online Shop findet ihr jetzt auch den Jahrgang 2012 der geschädigten Lage Steinriegel aus Michi's Privatarchiv. Noch mehr Infos dazu, wie ihr Winzer:innen nach den Unwetterschäden in der Südsteiermark unterstützen könnt, findet ihr bei Kalk & Kegel

Jede Folge verkosten die beiden Weinliebhaber:innen Kady und Michael einen Wein & stellen die Winzer:innen dahinter vor. Das besondere daran: Abwechselnd bringt einer der beiden eine Flasche Wein mit und der andere hat keine Ahnung, was ihn erwartet.

Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr unseren Podcast abonniert & bewertet. Für Feedback aller Art sind wir sehr dankbar, wenn ihr uns einen Wein oder eine:n Winzer:in empfehlen wollt, dann schreibt uns einfach per Mail an kady@weinfuerwein.at oder michael@weinfuerwein.at! Auf unserer Website findet ihr weitere Infos zum Podcast.

Blair Gillingham  joins me on the podcast this week. He is the winemaker at Howling Bluff Estate Winery in Naramata but has been in the wine business since he was a teenager. He's experienced a lot of vintages in many countries around the world, which he’ll be talking about. Blair is super down to earth about wine and winemaking. He was a hard-core listener to my old podcast, Wine Country BC back in the day – even remembering things about them that I’d forgotten about. He brought along a couple of tank samples to try from Howling Bluff and his own project Observatory Wines. So here you go, enjoy my chat with winemaker Blair Gillingham. Cheers!

Our guest is Nori Nakamura who is the owner and winemaker at Noria, a unique winery in California. 

When we eat Japanese food, we almost automatically think to pair it with Japanese sake or Japanese beer. 

On the other hand, Japanese sake has become so popular globally that you can find it at Michelin-starred, non-Japanese restaurants outside of Japan these days. 

Nori decided to break the preconception and now is making beautiful wine that pairs perfectly with Japanese food. 

In this episode, we will discuss how Nori, who used to be in the high-end hotel industry in Japan, became a winemaker, his wine-making philosophy, what types of wine go well with Japanese food, the future of Japanese food and wine pairing, and much, much more!!!

So, if you didn’t know, Pouilly-Fumé is Sauvignon Blanc, but from a specific area of France in the Loire Valley. Like a lot of European wines, the names can be confusing because they are named after the place they are from, not the grape they are made from. But the real question is - can you tell the difference between a Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly-Fumé, which is going to be a little pricey, from a much less expensive Sauvignon Blanc? If you are curious about all of this stuff, this is the episode for you! We talk about what makes Sauv Blanc from Pouilly-Fumé special, and then we taste and review two wines from Pouilly-Fumé and compare them to Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc. The results may surprise you! Wines reviewed in this episode: 2021 Domaine Francis Blanchet Pouilly Fumé Cuvée Silice, 2020 Domaine Cailbourdin Pouilly-Fumé Les Cris, and Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc.

First up: what on earth is a GREEN PIZZA??!!

Well, it's a summer vegetable tart. But we couldn't quite bring ourselves to have that as our title. So we ran with 'green pizza'. Which it...almost is. 

What it definitely is, is utterly delicious comfort food. As well as going superbly well with a whole range of wines. So our kind of dish. 

It cries out for a fresh, crisp white. Particularly those made from  Sauvignon Blanc...but not exclusively. Here's what we went with:

• Villa Maria Taylor's Pass Sauvignon Blanc 2020, Marlborough, New Zealand (from £13.99)
• Zewenwacht Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2022, South Africa (£99 as part of the 12-bottle Discovery case from Wine Club by Majestic)
• Domäne Wachau Weissenkirchen Grüner Veltliner Smaragd 2021, Wachau, Austria (from £14.99)

This episode is part of our food-and-wine matching mini-series brought to you in association with Wine Club by Majestic. The wines featured are all available in Majestic.

This short-form Live episode is also available in video format so if you'd like to see us in action, check out our YouTube channel: Susie & Peter On Wine.

The recipe for our 'green pizza' is available, together with all links, photos, wines and more details from the show, on our website: Show notes for Wine Blast S4 E1 - Matching Food and Wine: 'Green Pizza'!

Ein herausragender Sortenvertreter aus dem Vulkanland

Als Oma und Opa Neumeister zur Hochzeit einen Hektar der Ried Moarfeitl zur Hochzeit geschenkt bekamen, ahnten sie wohl noch nicht, wie wichtig dieses Stück Rebfläche für zukünftige Generationen der Neumeisters werden sollte. Heute vinifiziert Christoph Neumeister in dritter Generation herausragende, herkunftsbezogene Weine auf diesem Fleck Erde im steirischen Vulkanland. Weine, die nicht laut und auffällig daher kommen, am Gaumen dann aber eine unvergleichliche Textur und Tiefe bieten. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über das goldene Zeitalter der Steiermark und wie Christoph Neumeister die Herausforderungen des Bioweinbaus in dieser Region gemeistert hat.

Den Sauvignon Blanc Ried Moarfeitl 2019 findet ihr zum Beispiel bei Wein&Co oder Weinfurore, er kostet ca. € 43. Bestellen könnt ihr die Weine von Christoph Neumeister auch auf dessen Website. Alles zum Projekt KTCN findet ihr unter persiflage.at.

Jede Folge verkosten die beiden Weinliebhaberinnen Kady und Michael einen Wein & stellen die Winzerinnen dahinter vor. Das besondere daran: Abwechselnd bringt einer der beiden eine Flasche Wein mit und der andere hat keine Ahnung, was ihn erwartet.

Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr unseren Podcast abonniert & bewertet. Für Feedback aller Art sind wir sehr dankbar, wenn ihr uns einen Wein oder eine/n Winzer/in empfehlen wollt, dann schreibt uns einfach per Mail an kady@weinfuerwein.at oder michael@weinfuerwein.at! Auf unserer Website findet ihr weitere Infos zum Podcast.

If you love Sauvignon Blanc, you need to know WTF White Bordeaux is! A perfect pairing for foods in Lent like fried fish, fish & chips, and other seafood (even a Filet-O-Fish!). We taste and review three White Bordeaux style blends, two from France, and one from Washington State, to help you find a reasonably priced winner. Each blend is different, despite the fact that all three are made from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. We also talk about giving things up for Lent, being an altar boy on Good Friday, and our go-to meatless Friday foods. If you ate meat on a Friday this Lent, you can listen to our podcast for your penance! Wines reviewed in this episode: 2019 Dubourdieu Liaison Bordeaux, 2020 L’Ecole No. 41 Luminesce, and 2021 Belingard Bergerac Sec.
