Lo-Fi Wine Making with Uffe Deichmann, Poppelvej Wines

Today’s guest is a sort of pioneer in Australian winemaking; his focus on 'lo-fi' production methods and non-traditional flavors has helped redefine what consumers expect from the land down under. Uffe Deichmann is a Dutch-born winemaker who found love at a music festival in Australia and never looked back — his winery, Poppelvej wines, now produces bottlings that are standard on some of the more groundbreaking menus across the U.S. In this episode we dive deep into the history of the winery, Uffe’s own journey through winemaking, the philosophy that underlies the incredible wine they are producing, and even touch on the topic of native bird species. From underground bunkers to stolen street signs, this conversation has it all.RELATED LINKS:Check out the Blister Craft CollectiveBecome a BLISTER+ MemberPoppelvej WineryPoppelvej Instagramhttps://vsimports.com/australia/poppelvej/TOPICS & TIMES:Current Wine Making (2:33)Origins of Poppelvej (5:49)Finding Australia (15:04)Fruit Selection / Picking Process (21:01)Lo-Fi Wine (23:49)Music’s Influence on Poppelvej (31:44)Poppelvej's Growth & Expansion (35:19)The Wine Making Process (41:36)Australian Terrior (52:39)Wine’s Generational Crises (58:30)Flavor Exploration (1:04:06)The Hand Painted Sign (1:07:56)SEE OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicBikes & Big IdeasGEAR:30Blister Podcast Hosted on Acast.
