Celebrating Nowruz with Drood Wines' Shahram Soltani

In recognition of the spring equinox holiday of Nowruz, David speaks with the owner of Drood, the 1st official Iranian-made wine

Show notes

After 33 years working with wine, it's a rarity that David tastes wines made from new grapes or from new areas. Drood of Iran--made in Sweden-- ticks both these boxes. Its owner, Iranian native, and DotE guest Shahram Soltani harvests old vine varieties grown at 2000+ meters altitude then transports them to his new home and winemaking facility in Sweden to create his first wines from the 2021 vintage--the first in the world made from grapes originating from Iran and sold legitimately by an Iranian.

Produced by Matty Rosenberg, Jennifer Hammoud and David Furer at Radio Free Rhinecliff
