    Growing Their Little Socks Off

    This episode of Uncorked explores harvest season during a record year for Welsh wine, driven by an excellent summer and strong growing conditions across the country. Sara visits St Hilary Vineyard to speak with harvest volunteers and winemakers about managing an abundant crop. Their discussions offer a clear view of the practical realities of picking in a standout year. Angela adds wider historical context, reflecting on general harvest traditions in Wales and how they continue to shape community life today. The episode provides a concise, insightful look at an exceptional Welsh harvest—one marked by grapes that, as a guest put it, have been “growing their little socks off.” Follow on Instagram @uncorkedwelshwine

    Oes Gafr Eto?

    The Uncorked team visited Tair Gafr Wines in the Vale of Glamorgan to learn how the owners are making natural wine in a uniquely Welsh setting. They talked about the challenges and rewards of small-scale low-intervention winemaking, tasted the latest releases, and met the animals that share the vineyard.

    Can you start a vineyard from Facebook Marketplace?

    In this episode of Uncorked: The Welsh Wine Podcast, the team takes their first trip out of the studio and into the vines at St Hilary’s Vineyard. Owners Liz and Peter share the story of how their vineyard began — with one or two surprises along the way (yes, even Facebook Marketplace gets a mention). Back in the studio, the hosts crack open bottles of St Hilary’s wine, perfectly paired with Ty Caws Welsh cheeses chosen specially for the tasting. Angela brings the local history to life with folk stories from St Hilary, giving the wine an extra layer of flavour. It was a hot day, Bryn the dog tagged along for his vineyard debut, and this is just the first of many Welsh vineyard visits the team has planned. Follow on Instagram @uncorkedwelshwine

    Cool Reds

    Wales does reds pretty well, in a (normally) cool-climate, and perfect for sipping, even when the sun actually decides to show up. In the latest ep Jamie, Sara and Angela explore Welsh red wine and open a Llaethliw Rondo, snack on some amazing Welsh cheese and chat about some local history — while recording in a rare patch of very hot Welsh weather.

    Did Wales invent Champagne?

    The team take a closer look at Welsh sparkling wine—how it’s made, why it works so well in the Welsh climate, and why it's so good. They spotlight producers like Velfrey Vineyard, open a bottle of Velfrey fizz to taste for themselves, and explore the origins of sparkling wine, uncovering a tenuous historical link to Wales. Oh, and there's a theory that Dom Pérignon might actually have been Dai Pérignon… Follow on Instagram @uncorkedwelshwine
