In this instalment, Jamie, Sara and Angela dive into one of the lesser-known grapes behind Welsh wine. Many people haven’t heard of varieties like Solaris — and that unfamiliarity can put them off. But the cork dorks are here to change that.

Could Solaris be Wales’ answer to Sauvignon Blanc? They’re pouring a glass to find out.

And if you’re curious to try it yourself, you’re in luck — Wales has some brilliant bottles on offer.

In this episode of Uncorked: The Welsh Wine Podcast, hosts Jamie, Sara, and Angela delve into the rich and surprising history of winemaking in Wales—beginning with the Romans (yes, really!). They trace the evolution of Welsh winemaking through the centuries, from the ancient vineyards planted by Roman settlers to the monasteries of the Middle Ages, the decline during the industrial era, and the remarkable resurgence in recent decades.

In each episode they will sample a different Welsh wine - this episode it’s Parva Farm Vineyard - Tintern Parva Bacchus 2019 white.
