In this episode, we sit down with Wayne Ahrens, co-founder of Smallfry Wines in the heart of Vine Vale, Barossa Valley. Wayne is a third-generation farmer, viticulturist, and storyteller who takes us deep into the world of biodynamic farming, natural wine production, and the soulful connection between land, vine, and community.
We explore how Wayne's commitment to regenerative practices, minimal intervention, and ancient wisdom results in wines that are alive, expressive, and wholly unique—offering more than flavour, but experience. From moon cycles to microbial life, from intuition to innovation, this conversation is a rich journey into the philosophy of living and farming well.
Whether you’re wine-curious or soil-obsessed, this one is full of soul.
