Polish PIWI Wines - Winnica Silesian with Espen Madsen

Poland is emerging as one of Europe’s most intriguing cool-climate wine countries and disease-resistant PIWI grapes could play a significant part in its future. I’m joined by Espen Madsen of Winnica Silesian to explore how varieties including Souvignier Gris, Hibernal and Jutrzenka perform in the continental climate of Lower Silesia.

Is one of Australia’s most overlooked wine regions quietly producing some of its best-value wines? 🍷 Located between Margaret River and the Great Southern, @blackwoodvalleywine might not have the same name recognition, but the quality in the glass deserves serious attention.
