  • Poor sound quality

    I was excited to find this podcast so I could learn more about Australian wine before I moved to the Barossa to work in the industry, but the poor sound quality makes most of the episodes nearly impossible to listen to. In addition to this, I find many of the interviews to be a bit vague. It would be great to talk a bit more specifically about winemaking styles or interesting history about the winery. No matter what, I won’t be able to realistically listen again until the sound issues have impro... more

  • Some good interviews and interesting people, but so biased when it comes to women!

    She puts so much more work and research into the women she interviews, but just craps on about what wine she's just drank to the men, like she knows something about wine!

  • Very disappointing podcast

    As a wine making student and wine nerd I listen to a number of wine related podcasts, and as much as I want to like this podcast, I don’t.

    For starters, interviewing guests (mostly wine makers in rural regions with sub-par phone reception) over the phone is terrible for audio quality. But my main problem with this podcast is it come across as if the interviewers do ZERO research into who they are interviewing, to the point where the guest seem bewildered by some of the amateur questions. I was... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jake Sheedy - Sisu Wines (Coal River Valley Tasmania)
Q: Can you give us a layman's terms explanation of why you do carbonic maceration and what the process is?
Carbonic maceration involves fermenting whole grape clusters in a CO2-rich environment to initiate intracellular fermentation, which preserves fresh fruit characters, adds spice, and reduces tannin. After this stage, the fruit is pressed to allow a more traditional fermentation, enabling deeper texture without overpowering tannin, resulting in a lighter, more aromatic red style.
Clare Dry - Seppelt (Great Western)
Q: How did the Drumball vineyard contribute to Seppelt's portfolio?
Drumball was established in the 1960s as part of an expansion to secure high-quality, cool-climate fruit for top-end sparkling wine, with the vineyard now totaling around 94 hectares and focusing on sparkling varieties while also producing table Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Clare Dry - Seppelt (Great Western)
Q: What sparked the shift to sparkling wine at Great Western, and who were the key players involved?
The spark that ignited Great Western's sparkling program came from Hans Irvine's ambition to produce a champagne-style wine in Australia, aided by Charles Pillow and the acquisition of specialized equipment and bottles, which allowed Seppelt to pioneer Method Champagne in Australia.
Dan Cowan - Alkina Wine Estate (Barossa)
Q: How does Polygon influence winemaking decisions across vintages?
By isolating patches with different clay, schist, and limestone, we can compare and understand how each micro-terroir expresses itself in Grenache, leading to more nuanced blends or single-block wines.
Dan Cowan - Alkina Wine Estate (Barossa)
Q: What makes Alkina's soil approach unique in the Barossa?
The estate maps and pits, identifies four distinct patches with different rock types, and then makes a deliberate choice to vinify from these polygons separately to preserve and express terroir.
