In our last episode of the year, I’m joined by Rob Corbett, Vintner, and owner at Castlewood Vineyard, a Devon-based, family vineyard specialising in low intervention and sustainable British wine. 

In this episode we delve into the explosion of British wine, perfect wine parings and recipes, what to look out for when you are buying wine and the importance of buying local and from small producers. If you’re already a fan of British wine then this episode is not to be missed, equally, if you’ve never tried British wine before then after this episode you will certainly want to sample a bottle (or two) over Christmas and find out what all the fuss is about.
