Here's a recent interview I did with Anna Chilton, who is studying to be a master of wine, and works for a company which owns a winery (Linton Park) in South Africa. In the podcast we discuss what sustainability means in wine today, soil health and better practices, and what other industries, particularly in agriculture, might learn from the studies and practices in the wine sector, particularly around sustainability.
