Summary
What does it mean to truly capture a place in a bottle of wine? Clare sits down with Anika Willner, winemaker at Coalpit Vineyard, to explore the philosophy behind organic viticulture and the deep connection between land, people, and wine. From her early years in Ohio to working vintages across Europe, Australia, and the United States, Anika shares the journey that led her to Central Otago, and together they unpack the realities of organic winemaking, from biodiversity and vine health to conservation, climate resilience, and the responsibility of farming for future generations. More than a conversation about wine, it’s an exploration of purpose, presence, and the relationship between people and the land they care for.
