In this reflective episode of the SUITCASE & CHARDONNAY podcast, we explore the deeper stories behind wine through the lens of this month’s theme: 'Sensitive Souls See More.'

Host Renate Engelbrecht is joined by Mika Engelbrecht, winemaker at Neethlingshof Wine Estate, for a thoughtful conversation around the Short Story collection of wines -where each bottle captures more than just flavour, but emotion, memory and meaning.

Together, they unpack the art of noticing in winemaking, the role of intuition and sensitivity in the cellar, and how wine can become a powerful storyteller - holding moments, personal reflections and a sense of place.

This episode is perfect for listeners who enjoy:

• Wine podcasts and South African wine stories

• Lifestyle podcasts with a focus on slow living and mindful experiences

• Conversations around creativity, storytelling and craftsmanship

• Food and wine inspiration for autumn

Whether you’re a wine lover, a storyteller at heart, or simply someone learning to slow down and notice more, this episode invites you to experience wine in a more intentional, meaningful way.
