The History of Winemaking in Bordeaux
Winemaking in Bordeaux has a rich history that dates all the way back to Roman times.

Organic and Biodynamic – what it means to us at Waud Wines
The world of wine got aboard the ‘organic bus’ many years ago following its regulation in 1991 and this was not just neat marketing, there was a strong wave (now a tidal wave) of feeling that this was the correct way to grow vines. The aim was to produce wines in a more sympathetic way…
