Soil with wine-making potential
After a careful investigation of the minerals in the soil of our domain, the conclusion was that the potential for growing tasteful and qualitative grapes was more than feasible. This is the first important step in making wine, harvesting juicy, sung through the sun grapes!
It takes a number of years before the taste of the land penetrates into the trunk of a grapevine and settles down into the plant. You have to leave enough time to the vine to embrace this before you can really start making wine.
Wine making is the next step but is a specialism on itself and requires knowledge and patience to end up with the qualitative product you are looking for. It is inevitable to experiment if you want the right color, taste and clarity.
