Is that the March hare? It’s hard to keep up, but keep up we must, which is why we’re taking a good hard look at the rapidly developing world of Organics, Biodynamics, Natural Wine and Sustainability. Phew! Pause for a carbon footprint free breath. We explain and try to define these concepts by looking at an impressive collection of wineries working these processes in the vineyard and winery. To spread the sustainable love, even our champagne feature focuses on an organic grower, the excellent Laherte Frères. We’re always keen to acknowledge liquor’s rich history. Nothing richer than luscious Remy Martin Cognac; we lift the lid on that legend. The renowned Jackson Estate is our Winery of the Month and, check our back page for the marvellous Marisco offerings. Fancy yourself as a bit of a winemaker? Well, fancy pants, grab an ace Scott Base blending case, mix and match from the delights within and Josh Scott will assess and award – yep, there’s a trip to the Central Otago up for grabs.
