videoOldenburg Vineyards - The Garden Philosophy
Great wine begins beneath the surface — in the soil, in the philosophy, and in the people who bring it to life. In this film, Adrian Vanderspuy walks through the Rondekop Garden philosophy: Place, People, and Practices. At its heart is a simple idea — that exceptional wine is the result of exceptional care, and that care only happens when the people tending the vines understand why what they do matters. "Without the people, we can't execute our goals. We have the specialty wine, we have the spec

videoAI can control wine colour. But does that make better wine?
Can technology control wine? It can measure. It can track. It can even guide decisions with incredible precision. But wine doesn’t behave like a controlled system. In our latest Vinimark Podcast, we explore how tools like colour picking are helping winemakers understand and influence extraction in ways that weren’t possible before. But here’s the reality: Precision doesn’t mean control. And it definitely doesn’t mean standardisation. In this conversation with Pieter Carstens of Leeuwenkuil, we unpack why wine remains a product of multiple variables, many of which still sit outside the reach of technology. Because even with better tools…wine is never just one thing. Listen to the full podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvz8vquvV78
videoAI vs Instinct: Why Farmers Still Trust Gut Feel in the Vineyard
The term “AI” has been attached to almost every part of our lives… but have we taken the time to understand where it’s actually useful… and where it isn’t? AI cannot “sense” your vineyard. But it can make sense of your vineyard. AI can’t feel the soil, the heat, or water stress in your vines. But it can recognise patterns… and make recommendations. But farmers are still the ones making the decisions (and carrying the consequences). In our latest Vinimark Podcast, we explore how technology is helping farmers understand their vineyards in ways that weren’t possible before, from variability and water needs to real-time vineyard analysis. But we also explore where the data ends… and judgement begins. In this conversation with Pieter Carstens of Leeuwenkuil, we unpack what he calls “original intelligence”, the instinct, experience and human intent behind every meaningful decision in the vineyard and cellar. Because the real transformation isn’t from human to machine. It’s from gues

Spring cask-cade
The Spring 2026 JD Wetherspoon Beer Festival has just come to an end. As usual, I made an effort to try as many of the 30 specials as I could conveniently locate in Dublin. Handily, Keavan's Port jumped the gun, and had three of the beers pouring a couple of days before the official kick-off on 5th March. Two of those were the prestige international collaborations, so I started on Malteza Session IPA , brewed at Oakham under the supervision of Cervecería Malteza of Mexico. At 4.8% ABV, it's a bit overclocked for "session", I reckon, though there's more than a hint of Oakham magic about it. Brewed with Citra, Amarillo and Cascade, it has the fresh bittersweet lemon zing of Oakham's own Citra pale ale. Gravity be damned, this is seriously sessionable stuff. The cleanness and simplicity may, however, be a flaw, because the beer has added hibiscus, and I could find very little sign of that. Normally, it manifests for me as a cherry or raspberry tang, and there's maybe a tiny hint of the la

videoWhat is a Vigneron? Why Farming Wine is Different to Growing Grapes
What does it really mean to farm wine, not just grapes? In our Vinimark Podcast on AI in the vineyards with Professor Carlos Poblete Echeverria, we explored how technology is helping us understand vineyards in more detail than ever before, from soil variability to real-time data and digital terroir. But understanding is only one part of the equation. In this conversation with Pieter Carstens of Leeuwenkuil, we explore the role of the vigneron and why human decision-making still defines the outcome. Because terroir isn’t just soil. It’s the person behind the decisions.
