    Dec 31 2025

    Troon Winery isn’t just making wine—they’re stewarding the land.

This conversation goes beyond tasting notes and into the why—why farming matters, why patience is essential, and why great wine starts long before grapes ever reach the cellar.

    We talk about balance, biodiversity, and the intentional choices that honor both the vineyard and the people who work it. Troon’s approach is thoughtful, grounded, and refreshingly honest, proving that when you work with the land instead of against it, the result is something truly special.
