Hosted by Demetri Walters MW, Elie Maamari & Michael Karam Uncover Château Ksara, Lebanon’s oldest winery.

Hosted by Pieter Walser & Ronan Sayburn MS To understand the philosophy behind Blank Bottle Winery we trace its roots back to owner and winemaker Pieter Walser’s first customer. A woman visited his office 12 years ago, saying that she wanted to buy some wine, and that she liked everything apart from Shiraz. She then tasted some wine, loved it, and bought three cases. It was Shiraz. We join Pieter to understand more about why he says he wants nothing on his labels about the grape variety.

Frost issues apart, quality has never been higher, nor have there been so many exciting practitioners. In this episode of ‘Jasper on Terroir’ Morris MW uses his unrivalled knowledge of the terroirs to tease out the subtle differences between one grand cru and another.
