Dropyn - Gwin Dylanwad Wine Chat

South Africa's Avondale Wines: Biodynamics, Sulphites and more!

Gwin Dylanwad Wine Season 1 Episode 3

What do ducks have to do with wine?? In this episode, we dive into the world of Avondale Wines from South Africa — a pioneering estate known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic farming. We chat about their philosophy, their stunning wines, and why their approach has gained so much admiration.

True to form, we also wander off down a few side paths… including a friendly digression into what biodynamics actually means, how sulphites work in wine, and why these topics spark so much discussion among wine lovers.

Jonathan Grieve visited our wine shop in Dolgellau and took us through the wines so we thought a podcast dedicated to his wines was appropriate!  A relaxed, curious, and hopefully helpful conversation that brings a little more clarity (and plenty of enthusiasm) to the glass. Iechyd Da!



Dropyn – Gwin Dylanwad Wine Chat is recorded in our little wine shop in Dolgellau, North Wales. Join Dylan, Llinos and Osian as we chat about wines, winemakers and the stories behind the bottles.
