Overview

Topics covered include grape production vineyard site selection, choosing, planting and caring for vines; methods to maximize fruit production, and how best to harvest to minimize damage; the winemaking process steering the producer through each stage in sparkling and still wine production; wine tasting focusing on what flavours to seek and recognise, and which to avoid; the business of establishing a vineyard expectations and costs involved and finally, terroir and what it really means to winemakers and consumers today.
