Here's what people are saying about Rooted in Change: The Stories Behind Sustainable Wine:
"If you make wine - or simply drink it - read ‘Rooted in Change: The Stories Behind Sustainable Wine’. Jane Masters MW and Andrew Neather calmly analyse how climate change is impacting the wine world, before spotlighting practical ideas on how to tackle it. Harvesting real life anecdotes from across the globe, they macerate them to extract best practice, ferment the pros and cons (spoiler alert: sometimes there is no perfect solution) and barrel through the successful achievements of others, before decanting inspirational ideas for the vineyard, winery, supply chain and society. I defy any winemaker not to learn something. I certainly did. Even a casual wine drinker will now know what to ask, and next time they choose a bottle of wine."– Wendy Outhwaite (wonderfully talented winemaker)
"Jane Masters (a wine buyer) and Andrew Neather (formerly wine columnist and journalist on the Evening Standard) hardly knew each other when they embarked on this book project, but they’ve pulled it off brilliantly. It’s a breezy trawl through the varied issues relating to sustainability in wine, with the authors taking the stance of neutral observer rather than advocates. As a result, this is readable and informative. As you might expect when a professional journalist is involved, there are lots of quotes and concrete examples of the issues being discussed. And it’s bang up to date."
A super, Super Tuscan! The best of sangiovese with a sprinkling of bordeaux varietals to balance out this stunning blend. The favourite wine of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
Considered Château d’Esclans’ finest wine, Garrus was at the heart to Sacha Lichine’s vision in 2006 to make rosé grand. Today Garrus is firmly established as a world class, iconic luxury rosé.
Château Beychevelle 2008 is deeply-coloured and very fruity. The 2008 vintage has turned out to be a very pleasant surprise after the challenges encountered during the growing season.
Rich and bold Pinot Noir comes from the famous appellation of Mercurey in the Cote Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. Ripe fruit and earthy undertones on the palate.
Probably the most serious "Bourgogne Rouge" you'll ever taste. Maybe because this producer is known for its outstanding Gevrey-Chambertin! Very impressive wine.
Cabernet Sauvignon is the star of this stunning left bank blend. This Chateau neighbours the historic town of Margaux famous for its first growth wines!
Second wine from the world renowned and highly regarded Château Calon Ségur. Beautifully round and elegant, Saint-Estèphe offers some of the best wines in Bordeaux.
Superb "everyday" wine from the renowned Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe when compared to their more prestigious neighbours. Outstanding quality combined with value for money.
Rich, structured and bold best describes this fabulous red from the southern rhone. A favorite of many. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the top dog of all cote du rhone.
The lesser known cru from the southern rhone but certainly not a lesser wine! Fantastic value for money when compared to CNDP but delivers in all the same areas.
