She's visited over 800 South African wine farms, and she's just getting started. Leanne Beattie, better known as The Wine Girl Cape Town, has made it her mission to make South Africa's wine scene accessible, exciting, and deeply human. No snobbery allowed. In this episode, Leanne joins us for an honest, playful and deeply informative conversation about what's really happening in South Africa's wine world. She speaks on: The regions quietly producing world-class Chardonnay (yes, really!) to the polarising rise of jalapeños and frozen mango in Sauvignon Blanc. How Gen Z is changing the wine industry. What it takes to build a loyal audience as a wine content creator in a world that loves a good story Plus, Rene Grownewald, Cape Wine Master and WCellar Senior Product Specialist, joins the conversation for a live tasting session and pulls back the curtain on how your favourite wines actually make it onto the Woolworths shelves.
