16:26 sound like my wine, which good wineries are from there that I should look? And what areas exactly?

Just found this channel and after this video, I am already hooked. Hailing from Australia, I can remember drinking straight Colombard which in my nascent years I thought I could detect the scent of banana on the nose. Sadly I don't see it any more so I was surprised to hear you refer to it as a blending partner for one of my favorite age-worthy whites Chenin Blanc. Cheers!

[@WineWithJimmy]

Yes - for commercial stuff usually

[@valk5045]

Steen is dutch for stone. Presumably because called tha because of the stonefruit notes in the wine.

[@WineWithJimmy]

Ah - interesting! Thanks for your insights, very cool!

Are there sweet wines made without the aid of botrytis? Every time you mention sweet wines it seems like botrytis is involved

[@WineWithJimmy]

There certainly is - through other concentrating grape sugar methods such as drying the grapes on/off the vine, freezing the grapes (Eiswein/Icewine) and then through winemaking techniques such as stopping fermentation early or adding a sweet component

@@WineWithJimmy Thank you! Eiswein sounds very intriguing, will have to give it a shot.
