On this week’s episode of Fine Vines and Wine, I’m joined by Tony Allen, Chief Winemaker at Duxton Vineyards and Rewild Wine.

This episode is jam packed with interesting wine chats (Tony brings over 30 years of industry experience in winemaking and operations), sustainable wine brand initiatives, and how these are now shaping the wine industry. Plus, we even live taste a couple of bottles from the affordable Rewild range.

We delve deep into what it takes to create a successful sustainable wine label chatting about the bigger picture and the smaller less obvious details that are all involved in the process, plus we hear what’s in store for the future and that there may even be a new varietal joining the already broad range very soon.

So sit back, pour yourself a large glass of your favourite beverage, and join me for this weeks delightful journey through the world of Australian wine.

On this week’s episode of Fine Vines and Wine, I’m joined by Mitchell Taylor, managing director and third generation winemaker at Taylors Wines.

This episode is jampacked with interesting wine chats, important inititives, and bottles you’ll want to add straight to your collection. We talk about how Mitchell started working in the wine industry from a very young age, the story of how he found himself working back at the family business after several years in the finiancial world, and the advantages of being able to see how a business runs from, and work in, multiple different roles to experience the journey of a wine from the vine to someone enjoying it in a restaurant.

We discuss how the wine industry and the wines produced are almost determined by trends and what’s in fashion for that season, the complexity of the industry and what goes on behind a successful brand with the challenges that may arise plus the steps taken to maintain a 5* winery rating from James Halliday himself.

We also delve into the depths and learn all about their new initiative, Sea BnB, which is an amazing concept that Mitchell Taylor is extremely passionate about, Taylors’ stance on sustainability and their aim of making the winery better for each generation to come, and how Taylors Wines and other winemakers in Australia are working together to share the rich Australian wine history with the global market through Australian First Families of Wine.

So grab yourself a big glass of Shiraz (it is National Shiraz day after all), sit back and relax with this week’s episode.

On this week’s episode of Fine Vines and Wine, I chat with Naomi and Nick, the partner duo behind Tipsy Aunt Flo, the wine brand changing the way we talk and think about period poverty.

We learn all about the ideas that sparked the business, Mark getting his head around period talk and educating his mates on the subject, and the amazing charity, The Cova Project, that they work with. We also talk about their two main initiatives; ending period poverty and ending period shame which they are hoping to do through Tipsy Aunt Flo and how females need to speak up to get these issues heard.

We talk about what’s in store for the future of wine, especially when it comes to making wine more accessible for everyone, sustainability approaches and helping consumers drink less but better.

We also discuss their goals for the future when it comes to Tipsy Aunt Flo and this power couple, and their brand, is definitely one to watch.
