The Andy and Olly Show
We are here to demystify the wine industry! Initially we recorded LIVE on Instagram, so there is no getting away from technical glitches and now on a slightly more stable medium!
We talk to other winemakers around grape varietals grown, techniques used, terroir in the area, mishaps along the way and of course everything else in between too! This is a fun filled podcast that captures the imagination of those interested to learn more about the wine industry in short sharp episodes.

The Andy and Olly Show - Series 4 Episode 8 - Feat Leonardslee
The Leonardslee Family Vineyard label encapsulates the extraordinary journey of its owner, Penny Streeter OBE, from humble beginnings to creating a prestigious English sparkling wine. Once living in homeless accommodation, Penny's story is a modern-day Cinderella tale.
We get a birds eye view of everything Leonardslee Vineyard stands for hearing directly from head winemaker, Johann Fourie, one of the leading South African winemakers on how they found the right location in West Sussex and developed a brand which they believe is unparalleled in the region, sticking with a tried and tested method that has been developed when understanding the local climatology and terroir.
What a story and what incredible wines!
