#S19 Tom Lubbe of Matassa – Cuvée Romanissa 2019

This is a special episode for more than one reason. First off: It's not every day that we have a natural wine legend from Roussillon in our Viennese podcast studio. Also, this is our first ever episode in English, so please bare with us as we struggle a tiny bit here and there. Due to the language factor, we've decided to make this a special episode, though it is in no way sponsored.Tom Lubbe shares his thoughts and opinions with us in this episode in his very open and honest way. We cover a myriad of topics, from growing up in South Africa and New Zealand to his first stages in Bordeaux and South Africa, falling in love with wine and receiving a very thorough education and finally realizing that something needs to change and he might have to be the one to do it. We chat about soil health and organic matter, the challenges of growing vines in Roussillon, how important it is to be connected to nature through food & wine and SO much more. You can find Tom Lubbe's wines at Weinskandal – in fact, Tom was in Vienna because of Weinskandal's very own natural wine fair "Naturwein im Reaktor". The current vintage of Cuvée Romanissa is € 32,50.   Jede Folge verkosten die beiden Weinliebhaber:innen Kady und Michael einen Wein & stellen die Winzer:innen dahinter vor. Das besondere daran: Abwechselnd bringt einer der beiden eine Flasche Wein mit und der andere hat keine Ahnung, was ihn erwartet.Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr unseren Podcast abonniert & bewertet.
