No Sediment Wine Podcast

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Prof Alex Maltman, Emeritus Professor of Geography and Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University, to explore how geology really influences wine. We discuss soil, bedrock, microorganisms, and water retention, as well as the science behind minerality, volcanic soils, and terroir. Alex also challenges some of the most common myths about how vineyards shape the taste of wine.Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET’S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Christopher Burr MW to explore the appeal of mature wines, why some bottles only reveal their true character with age, and how wine lovers should think about provenance, storage and buying older vintages. We also talk about the joys of being a wine lover, and whether wine education helps people appreciate great bottles - or sometimes gets in the way.Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET’S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Sarah Jane Evans MW to explore Spanish sparkling wine Cava, its ongoing image problem, and whether the wine world has been too quick to dismiss it as just cheap bubbles. We talk about how Sarah Jane fell in love with Spanish wine, the rediscovery of native grape varieties like Xarel·lo and Macabeo, what really sets Cava apart from Champagne, and the internal battle over ageing, terroir and identity that is reshaping its future.You can also listen to the No Sediment Wine Podcast episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts and Castbox.
