Todays episode is the last episode of Season 3. I’ll be back again in September. I am speaking with my head winemaker of Balfour Winery, Fergus Elias, who is back for the second time. If you missed the first episode go back to Episode 106. We will be talking about one of our very special white wines, part of the Winemakers collection. It's called Cinque Ports 2019, made up with five grape varieties and it just won Gold at the WineGB Awards 2023. Then we will be looking at the latest stats released from WineGB and discussing the majority of grape varieties and new plantings to be found across England and Wales.
