Natural Wine World

In Episode 4 of the Natural Wine World podcast, Petra, Judith, and Ismo explore the aromas of a barrel-aged Grenache from La Robina. Guided by sommelier Judith, they break down primary, secondary, and tertiary aromas — from bright red fruit to oak, spice, and bottle-aged notes — and discuss how scent shapes both tasting and food pairing. A relaxed and insightful conversation that brings listeners closer to the craft, chemistry, and personality behind every glass.

In this episode of Natural Wine World, Petra and Judith are joined by Jenny Lindholm, Head of Products at Free Grape Society. Three Scandinavian women, living across France, Spain, and Sweden, come together to talk candidly about natural wine, community, and the realities of selling and discovering wine across borders.

From navigating alcohol monopolies and logistics nightmares to building fairer systems for small producers, the conversation dives into how Free Grape Society is reshaping access to wine for winemakers, sommeliers, and consumers alike. With plenty of laughter, strong opinions, and shared passion, this episode is all about lowering barriers, sharing knowledge, and making the wine world a little more human.
