Hosted by Filippo Mazzei, Francesco Mazzei, Giovanni Mazzei & Gionata Pulignani It has been defined as one of the wines that changed Italy’s wine style, and no one would deny that it should find an honoured place in the cellar of those who appreciate terroir wines. The dream of Lapo Mazzei, Siepi was established in 1992 as a distillation into wine of the breath-taking beauty of this 6-hectares vineyard in Castellina in Chianti and of its distinctive characteristics, beginning with its climate and soils. Add to that a painstakingly-respectful viticulture aimed at protecting the local microbiome and the result is the precious cuvée of Sangiovese and Merlot Siepi by Castello di Fonterutoli, now guided by Lapo Mazzei’s sons Filippo and Francesco and his grandson Giovanni.

Hosted by Jane Anson & Henri Lurton With its grand, almost exclusively gold label – certainly one of the world’s most eye-catching - second growth Château Brane-Cantenac certainly talks the talk, but it has long since demonstrated it also walks the walk. A Margaux property of distinction, Brane-Cantenac’s story began over 250 years ago, and its reputation was fixed long before Bordeaux’s 1855 classification set in stone the hierarchy of its Médoc estates. Henri Lurton is the latest member of the renowned Lurton family to own Brane-Cantena, and since his stewardship began in 1992 the wines have reached even greater heights. He is joined by Bordeaux expert Jane Anson to talk about his unwavering quest to secure Brane-Cantenac’s status for future generations and virtual members can also taste alongside and indulge in a selection of library vintages pulled from Brane-Cantenac’s cellars.

Hosted by Amelia Singer & Carmen O'Neal 58 Gin essentially takes its name from 57 failed distillations which, for managing director Carmen O’Neal, didn’t quite hit the bullseye. The following run however was a triumph worth honouring. Ensconced in a London railway arch, the ‘Gin from the Heart’ sustainable ethos of 58 Gin can be detected every step of the way – even the apples and sloes (once they’ve fulfilled their primary purpose) are turned into crumble desserts. Wine educator Amelia Singer pays a visit to discover what makes this gin artisan tick. Rolling up her sleeves she mans the production line to concoct her own potion, before settling in at the bar with an array of gins which are also available as a tasting kit to digital members.

Hosted by Jane Anson & Richard Bampfield MW For many of us, the prospect of opening a classed-growth Bordeaux goes hand in hand with seeking out its drinking window according to the world’s finest critics - no one wants to commit wine infanticide, nor take a corkscrew to a precious bottle whose glory days now require carbon dating. However, their palates are not yours, and your own preferences (a penchant for fierce, palate-wrenching tannins, perhaps) understandably carry the most weight. In another unmissable Deep Dive Bordeaux, Jane Anson and Richard Bampfield MW supply you with the tools needed to undertake your own risk assessment, illuminating their guide with a selection of Bordeaux’s finest wines, from a variety of vintages and regions. Also available as a tasting kit to digital members (this is exquisitely interactive television) they lead us through the hallmarks of each vintage, region, and even the château, all the while explaining the key factors in gauging a wine’s evolution.

Hosted by Ronan Sayburn MS, Judy Finn, Tim Finn & Rosie Finn Neudorf Vineyards began life in 1978 when Judy and Tim Finn (self-admittedly still riding the ‘back-to-the-land’ wave of the late 1960s) laid down their first vines, with the intention of crafting wines faithful to their soils. A general dearth of viticultural knowledge in New Zealand at the time led to the Finns adopting a suck it and see approach, with a whole host of varieties going into the ground. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir proved to be star performers and the launchpad for the organically run Neudorf where you will also find Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Albariño. The addition to the team of daughter Rosie and winemaker Todd Stevens has allowed Judy and Tim to ease off the gas, although that spirit of creating honest, land-shaped wine remains at its core, as Stevens notes: ‘We have an exceptional site here at Neudorf and it demands little from us in the winery. If we can guide grapes into wine of integrity without buggering it up, we are content.’ Neudorf, Rosie's Block, Moutere, Albariño, Nelson 2020 Neudorf, Tiritiri, Chardonnay, Nelson 2019 Neudorf, Rosie's Block, Twenty Five Rows, Chardonnay, Nelson 2019 Neudorf, Rosie's Block, Moutere, Chardonnay, Nelson 2019 Neudorf, Home Block, Moutere, Chardonnay, Nelson 2019 Neudorf, Home Block, Moutere, Pinot Noir, Nelson 2017 Please note that the Neudorf, Home Block, Moutere, Pinot Noir, Nelson 2019 is replacing the Neudorf, Rosie's Block, Moutere, Chardonnay, Nelson 2019 and the Neudorf, Tom's Block, Moutere, Pinot Noir, Nelson 2017 is replacing the Neudorf, Home Block, Moutere, Pinot Noir, Nelson 2017 tasted during the episode.

Hosted by Jasper Morris MW, Michel Mallard & Frédéric Engerer We join Jasper for another instalment of Live From the Vines, where we go behind the cellar door with president Frédéric Engerer and technical director Michel Mallard, for an insightful hour in Domaine d'Eugénie. The reincarnation of the famed Domaine Engel, Domaine d'Eugénie was purchased by François Pinault, owner of Château Latour in Bordeaux after the tragic early death of Philippe Engel. We discover what changes ensued, including greatly reduced yields and meticulous care in the vineyard, along with fairly classical vinification techniques. Join us as we taste six superb examples from the Domaine, guided by our talented hosts.
