Today's episode I am taking you on a journey through the sun-kissed landscapes and burgeoning vineyards of Brazil. My guest, wine communicator Luma Monteiro, is a Brazilian native, so we are in safe hands as she tells us her stories and takes us through the wine regions and styles. Luma was the winner of The IWSC Emerging Talent Wine Communicator of the Year 2023 award and was also featured this year in the Top 100 Most Influential People in Drinks by Drinks Retailing.
In this episode you will learn about the new DOs, an incredible new technique to invert the vines to produce fruit in the winter, It's called Vinhos de Inverno. Luma will suggest the region in which you must visit, and lots of wines for you to try to truly understand the quality of Brazilian wines.
