Minerality, Terroir & the Myths We Believe About Wine - with Alex Maltman

from No Sediment Wine Podcast · host No Sediment

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Prof Alex Maltman, Emeritus Professor of Geography and Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University, to explore how geology really influences wine. We discuss soil, bedrock, microorganisms, and water retention, as well as the science behind minerality, volcanic soils, and terroir. Alex also challenges some of the most common myths about how vineyards shape the taste of wine.Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET’S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment
