Rebellious Vines

Raise a glass to two rebellious winemakers doing things differently.

About this episode

It’s Sam Beeny’s last show with producer Georgie before AJ returns from completing her MBA and they’re chatting to two rebellious winemakers who clearly know their grapes.

Peter Constable from Warehorne Vineyard, Kent, is shaking things up in England’s wine scene. His winery is pioneering the use of a new Swiss vine to craft a unique English red that he intends to rival the French favourites.

Tom Holt, on the other hand, took a well-traveled path. After years of crafting wines around the world, he and his wife embarked on adventures in a van through Spain, searching for the perfect vineyard to establish their own wines. Their gamble paid off, and Paso-Primero, meaning First Step, has become a rising star, even becoming the official wine of Shrewsbury Town Football Club!

Join us as we chat with these two rebels about defying expectations, the thrill of the unknown, and the future of wine!
