We’re on location at with Master of Wine, Olivier Humbrecht, consulting winemaker behind one of BC’s most intriguing vineyards. He shares how Everton Vineyard went from a moonscape of rocks to a promising site for Riesling, why 2022 was a standout vintage, and what makes dry whites surprisingly tricky to get right. Tune in May 30-June 2 to hear about the pressing technique Olivier is famous for and what “toucher de bouche” means.
