The Soft and Curious

Cheers, with winemaker and founder of Natural Order Wine Peter Windrim

Episode Summary

In this bubbling episode of The Soft and Curious we dive deep into the world of natural winemaking with Peter Windrim, the visionary behind Natural Order Wine, or NOW as it's fondly called by its most ardent consumers. Pete takes us on a tasty ride through his transformative journey, revealing the inspiration that fuels his craft. Chatting with #SoftandCurious host Jessica Leahy, Pete breaks down the subtleties of wine, demystifying the differences between natural and organic, and makes a compelling case for democratising the wine scene, steering it away from its traditional, snobby reputation. Pete's method is a harmonious blend of intuition and precision. He delves into his "instinct and instrument" philosophy, passionately discussing how nature's beauty and interconnectedness demand a creative and wondrous approach to biodynamic farming. But perhaps most importantly, in a raw and moving segment, Pete opens up about his mental health, highlighting the importance of self-care in balancing the pressures of life and business.
