Growing Their Little Socks Off

This episode of Uncorked explores harvest season during a record year for Welsh wine, driven by an excellent summer and strong growing conditions across the country. Sara visits St Hilary Vineyard to speak with harvest volunteers and winemakers about managing an abundant crop. Their discussions offer a clear view of the practical realities of picking in a standout year. Angela adds wider historical context, reflecting on general harvest traditions in Wales and how they continue to shape community life today. The episode provides a concise, insightful look at an exceptional Welsh harvest—one marked by grapes that, as a guest put it, have been “growing their little socks off.” Follow on Instagram @uncorkedwelshwine
