In partnership with Virgin Wines www.virginwines.co.uk - Charlotte Kristensen, The London Wine Girl, is joined by wine buyer Sophie Lord. Sophie has been working in the wine industry for 15 years. She is particularly fascinated by the way in which nature is connected to wine. When we see a finished bottle of wine in its nice packaging and labelled beautifully, we often forget that wine begins its journey in the vineyard. But grapes and the vines are at the mercy of many natural elements year-on-year! Sophie talks to us about the power of nature and weather challenges faces by several wine regions. We also discuss how wine producers are working with nature and the growth of organic and biodynamic vineyards.
