Marius Kotze of la Motte and Leopards Leap in South Africa
Clearly a few days can make a difference! I recorded with Marius Kotze ( and ) when he was in town just a few weeks ago. He was participating at his agents' () portfolio tasting. Brilliant event held at the Market Bar on Fade Street. Packed to the rafters with customers and filled with excellent wines. This interview followed on from an earlier thirty minutes spent with Marius last year. . Our podcast today must, by the very nature of how Cophid19 has affected us all, be treated as a time capsule. Incredible three weeks. Marius told us today that,' We cannot sell in any channel in the local market and we are not allowed to export at this stage . We hope government can give us relief after the 21 days to at least export . The harvest is in the cellar, so they allowed as to make the wines but we cannot sell. For our tourism business it is disaster because both our restaurants are shut down so once things are back to normal again we have to find creative ways to get the tourist back to SA and also back to our vineyards'. I expect the word 'disaster' was chosen with a healthy dose of precision. Keep Safe and Keep Well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ While all restaurants in Ireland are closed right now they WILL open again. We all hope that this is soon. We should remember that many of these, including the wonderful Monty's of Kathmandu, are family businesses.

Majorca Wine: Jose Gonzalez of Can Xanet
There is no doubt that many island wineries will find it hard to 'tough it out' this year. Many depend on a tourist market to drink their wines. There are no tourists. Other's are totally dependent on export markets that have, for the time being, ceased to trade. And yet their grapes continue to grow, their vineyards continue to need maintenance and their families need to be looked after. Tough times. Recently the WinePod recorded a fascinating interview with Jose Gonzalez, owner and winemaker at . We wish him, and his colleagues across the island, well. In this podcast we learn new grapes, old ideas, new innovation and a willingness to face adversity. This is what Islanders have always had to do. Hopefully their current difficulties will not leave scars when the good times return.

Springfield Estate: South African Treasure
The WinePod recently met up with Jenna Bruwer of - one of our MOST favourite wine estates in the whole world! Why? Honesty. Springfield is in Robertson, South Africa. The Bruwer family has been running the Estate quite simply for a very, very long time. In this podcast Jenna tells us how they make their wines and why they are unique. It's amazing, for instance, to see how different the two Sauvignon Blanc wines (Life from Stone and Special Cuvee) are and then find that their grapes are grown so close to each other. It's equally fascinating to hear that the family loses the odd vintage completely as they focus on being natural wine makers - sometimes it just doesn't work!! Bonkers or Brilliance? Enjoy this podcast and have a look out for wines at a store or restaurant near you.

See for the full list that includes incredible names as Jackson Estates, Domain Wachau and Neil Ellis.

Vina Aresti from the Curico Valley in Chile: a podcast with winemaker Juan Ignacio Montt
Chile is an exceptional country to grow vines in. Indeed, it is also the leading country of origin on our shelves here in Ireland and our brand leader (by quite a margin) is the Santa Rita label. Vine growing in Chile is mainly concentrated in valleys running away from the Andes towards the Pacific Ocean. Over time the unique characteristics of these valleys and their contribution to ripening grapes have been analysed and studied. This has led to Cabernet Sauvignon perfection from the Maipo and crisp Sauvignon Blancs from the Casablanca Valleys. It's a great story. Have a look at the web site, explore each the main valleys and see how they are being developed. is unusual in Chile. It doesn't try to explore multiple valleys but instead focuses all of its winemaking from grapes grown in the one valley - the Curico. This is the largest of the 'wine valleys', lies 200 kms south of Santiago and has an incredible range of microclimates and soil types. See for a fabulous and detailed account. It's a great download. Vina Aresti winemaker Juan Ignacio Montt dropped in to the WinePod and explained all!

Ben Glaetzer and Nick Keukenmeester; a superb double act from Australia
invited me to a tasting of the wines of recently. Fabulous I said. A wine legend that I had never met and whose wines from the Barossa had never crossed my lips! Perversely I knew the '' wines from the lesser known region of south of Adelaide. Such are the vagaries of wine distribution! Ben had decided in the 1990's that Langhorne Creek fruit had fabulous potential. He has, with partner Nick Keukenmeester, achieved this. Heartland wines are so accessible that its web site statement rings true every time I read it, 'You can Taste it From Where You are'. I arranged a half an hour podcast. Brilliant. Homework done on the Glaetzer Wines (only) I headed to the venue. (Excellent by the way - Milltown Golf Club). My first introduction was to Nick! Great. I only had two mikes - one for me and one for Ben. …. I had no idea that Nick would be there also. Hold on. It's Bonus Time for the podcast ..... The Glaetzer Wines hold within their bottles the very soul of Barossa Shiraz. They are low intervention wines made from grapes grown on very old vines (up to 110 years old!) in the Ebenezer area of the northern Barossa. In this podcast Ben explains the styles and love behind his extraordinary labels. In addition, both Ben and Nick bring the Langhorne Creek Heartland Wines alive for us. It really is a secret and almost hidden region that needs to be one no longer! Thanks to both Ben Glaetzer and to Nick Keukenmeester for the time, energy and wines. It was fabulous meeting you both.
