As a new season of Leadership Decanted kicks off, Paul & KG discuss what it might take to refresh and reframe their leadership practices, as they are very mindful that all of those qualities, practices, behaviours and energy that got you here, may not necessarily get you to where you want to go next! There's also a tortured metaphor about sailing somewhere in this conversation... And of course, there is wine. Thanks to our friend Dan, Paul and KG share a juicy 2020 Torbreck, 'The Struie': a tasty blend of Shiraz from the Eden Vally and Barossa regions of South Australia.

Episode 11 is with Callum Powell of Agricola Vintners based in Australia's Barossa Valley. This episode will focus on Callum's background, and the next episode you'll hear him talk more specifically about his two Syrah wines, which by the way come with very high praise from his winemaker peers, notably Fraser McKinley from Sami-Odi. It's impressive because at 28 years old, Callum is one of – if not the youngest winemaker from any country in our book. You might recognize his last name, Powell, as he is the son of Dave Powell, the man who launched Torbreck. In today's episode, you'll hear Callum's coming of age in the wine industry, starting with memories of Torbreck back in the 90s. You'll hear about all the people who have molded Callum's perspective, from his dad to Jean Louis Chave to the folks at Tyrells and Jasper Hill, just to name a few. Callum also shares his take on what it means to be a young winemaker in Australia, pruning vines 4 times his age, and how the notion of terroir – or to use Callum's more literal interpretation – provenance, is viewed in Australia. It's been quite a journey for Callum, and to begin the story, we have to go back to when he was just a twinkle in his parents' eyes... Hosted by Charlotte Alsaadi.

This episode is part 2 with Callum Powell of Agricola Vintners based in Australia's Barossa Valley. If you haven't listened to part 1, hit pause and go back to listen! It gives a lot of context for this episode and shares stories of Callum's background, starting with growing up running around the cellar of Torbreck which his dad, Dave Powell, founded. In this episode, we get more into the details of his two Syrah wines, called ‘Flaxman Valley' and ‘Ebenezer' – what's unique about the sites where they were grown, how they were made, how they're different, etc. We also talk a bit about the business side of things because Callum only recently quit his other winemaking gig and went full in on Agricola.

I ugens episode taler Niels Lillelund og Palle Weis bl.a. om David Powell, der grundlagde vinhuset Torbreck og er lidt af et livstykke. På en våd aften fik han sig en tatovering med i købet, da han væltede København. Hans drengede livsglæde er et meget godt billede på Australien og dets vine – de er ikke længere på mode, men de er stadig saftige og smager værterne godt.Disse vine indgår i afsnittet:Torbreck - Juveniles - Barossa Valley 2019 - 249 kr. hos H.J.

Dave Powell, Torbreck founder, on starting again, and making great sustainable Shiraz with his new label, Powell & Son, in Barossa and Eden Valley in S Australia. This is a 20 minute podcast interview looking at the wines he makes, and his views on what is sustainable, natural, and biodynamic wine.

We recently caught up with Andrew Tierney from Torbreck in the Barossa Valley to discuss opportunities for Australian wine exporters in South East Asia.

Megan Glaab and her husband Ryan are the founding partners of Ryme Cellars, in California. Also in this episode, Erin Scala discusses the Italian influence on California.

I had the chance to chat with Craig Isbel, the award-winnning winemaker from Torbreck during his visit to San Francisco.  It was great talking to Craig. He has a colorful background and a no-nonsense approach to wine making.  I was struck by how humble he was for man with multple 100-point wines.  After the interview we went out for a glass and the guy at the wine bar was arguing with Craig about whether a wine was bad.  Craig never once said "hey 22 yr old kid, I make wine for living" which I might have been tempted to do.  Instead he was totally cool.  Awesome guy and I hope you enjoy the interview.

David Powell, wine maker at Torbreck, discusses the differences between Syrah and Shiraz. He also puts his somewhat expensive (yet well-made) wines in perspective with the rest of the fine wine world.
