Talking wine with Mark Haisma. Former winemaker for Yarra Yerring now making wine on his own in Burgundy and Northern Rhône

MARK HAISMA

Talking wine with Laurent Ponsot of Domaine Ponsot in Burgundy

“I learned from old people in my village when I was a kid. Lot of  things on birds, trees, grass, flowers… things like that. And the relation of all these elements with the vines, with the grapes, with the weather and so when I decide my date of grapepicking. It is just based on when is this flower blooming, where does this typical bird makes its nest – in the tree, up, in the middle down? When is this grass growing. Then we find a date.”

PONSOT

Talking wine with Peter Sisseck from Dominio di Pingus. The Danish winemaker who winewise was brought up in Bordeaux, created Pingus in Ribera del Duero and recently came back to Bordeaux.

"You start with a BANG and then you run after - trying to recreate."
