This is the last episode of Season 2. Season 3 will start in September. I am finishing on a high with Fergus Elias, the head winemaker of Balfour winery – my winemaker! We just picked up a trophy for best red wine in the WineGB awards 2022 and so it seemed the ideal time to talk with Ferg about his winemaking skills. Now, this is an awesome episode if you are interested in the English wine industry. We discuss Pinot Noir and its future in England. Have you heard about Crouch Valley in England? My guess is in a few years, that is going to be labelled a Grand Cru site. We are talking about clones and root stocks, which is rather convenient seeing as the episode before was all on viticulture. And also we touch on how our business model works in Balfour, now working with the growers of England and how that is expanding. You’ll also learn about the acid levels, and PH in English wines and how this affects Malolactic fermentation.
