Tomorrow, I launch my Georgian #wine to the great British public - at a garden festival in Devon! I have a gut feeling elderly gardeners will love an #amberwine from Georgia. My business plan relies on a huge uptake of cases this weekend. #notworried.#georgianwine #qvevriwines

This explains why the red grape Teran is planted at the top of the hills in Istria, Croatia, and the white grape Malvazija, which is less sensitive to humidity, is planted lower down. Morning fog is an issue from September. #croatianwine #istria #istrianwine #teran #malvazija

Good morning from my favourite part of Croatia - Istria. Land of Malvazija, Teran, beaches, mountain villages and truffles. Both the pasta and dessert dishes last night came with truffles. #croatianwine#istrianwine#istria

Dessert at Vinogradarska kuća Braje in the heart of Plešivica, Croatia. Pear poached in Traminer paired with the winery's original #orangewine - a blend of equal parts Roter Veltliner, #Traminer and #PinotGrigio. Eight months on skins in #qvevri and one year in an old oak barrel.

What a privilege discussing topics like #sustainability and what makes a #finewine fine with 30 of the world's best sommeliers. It was part of the inaugural World's Best Sommeliers Selection - a #winelist for #sommeliers around the globe (with suggested #wineandfood pairings)

This is Korçë, a city in southeast Albania. It's where you'll find the Max Mavrud winery. It's where my #redwine is developing. The strange thing about this image is that this city is only 35km from Greece!.#albanianwine #redblendwine #redblends #mavrudwine #mavrud #wineandtravel

My premium #redwine from Albania is coming along nicely. The cofermentation of Debine e Zezë, #Merlot, #PinotNoir, #Syrah is looking (and tasting) good. It will be blended with #Mavrud in a few months. This project is a collaboration with Max Mavrud. #redblends #albanianwine

Snow has fallen on the #MaxMavrud #vineyard in Leskovik, #Albania. It's hard to believe I was harvesting grapes from this vineyard a month ago!.The grapes - Debine e Zezë, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Syrah - will be blended with Mavrud to make a premium #redwine. Well, that's the plan

It's the first time I've seen this - a zipline across a #vineyard. I spotted it on the outskirts of #Lendava, a small town in northeast #Slovenia, near the borders with Hungary and Croatia. #vineyardlife #slovenianwine #iloveslovenia #ziplining #wineandtravel #winetourism

Is it possible to make a premium #redwine in #Albania?.That was my challenge this vintage, travelling to one of the most beautiful #vineyards in the world to see what I could do with grapes such as Debine e Zezë and #Mavrud. #albanianwine #raregrapes.

This was my strangest #vineyard visit ever. Frumushika-Nova would be an extraordinary ‘honey, #wine, cheese’ resort, even if it wasn’t in a country at war.#ukrainianwine #wineandtravel #wineandfood #raregrapevarieties #raregrapes #winemaking #winetourism.

A very English setting for the superb Georgian Wine Festival. Dartington Hall, Devon. A great event: a wide range of #georgianwines and food, and some powerful, moving singing. It concludes today. #raregrapevarieties #wineandfood #winemaking .@GeorgianwineUK @WinesofGeorgia
