SWR Member Interview: A common sense approach to sustainability in Fronsac

By Hanna Halmari

In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) Member Interview podcast Hanna Halmari talks with Sally Evans, owner and winemaker at Château George 7 in Fronsac, Bordeaux.

Sally entered the industry as a non-wine professional and built the winery from the ground up. They discuss how this has shaped Sally’s approach to sustainability, the challenges she faces as a small producer in Bordeaux, consumer perceptions of sustainability, sustainable packaging challenges and solutions, and more.

This episode is part of our ‘SWR Member Interview’ podcast series. Each episode will feature a different guest speaker from the SWR in which we’ll highlight the latest news, innovations and developments of this member’s sustainability journey and their involvement in the SWR.

We welcome all members interested in taking part to contact Hanna Halmari – hanna@sustainablewine.co.uk
