How to do business in Africa - Wines of South Africa
We were honoured to be a part of the Wines of South Africa (WOSA) panel discussing how to build successful wine channels into Africa.

Under the Influence Podcast #1 | Chardonnay with Joris
In the first Under the Influence Podcast, brought to you by the Together Store, we are joined by Joris van Almenkerk of Almenkerk Wines to explore the wonderful world of Chardonnay. From unoaked, to Old World and New World, and back into the regional differences in South Africa, we explore what makes this grape tick. We dig into the vineyard, and into the cellar, and find out just how terroir and winemaking techniques influence the flavour and style of Chardonnay. Big thanks
