Cork Talk with Bryan MacRobert

Bryan MacRobert grew up on a farm near Cape Town and always wanted to be a winemaker. Working for Eben Sadie in Priorat gave him the chance to travel to Spain, where he’s lived with his oenologist wife Clara Canals since 2012. One of the new generation of vineyard-focused Rioja producers, he has strong view about good farming, the wisdom of old ways, the potential of the region’s white wines and the way out of the current crisis.

To read more about Bryan have a look at the MacRobert & Canals website. You can also follow her on Instagram at @macrobertandcanals.
