A lesson in Vineyard keeping
We at Vinturi are pretty serious about wine. We appreciate taste, texture and aroma, particularly when we have such a
great gadget to do the aeration for us. Opening a bottle of something delicious is a real treat- but what about the people who work so hard to get it ready for us to drink? It’s hard work keeping and maintaining the vineyard, and keeping the grapes in great condition to make great wine.
The weather is often the owner’s nemesis, with wet conditions bringing risk of disease which can easily spread between crops, and potentially wipe out a year’s hard work. It’s not uncommon for a team of only six or seven workers to be tending to around ninety acres of land, and spraying and pruning tens of thousands of vines by hand. Not for the faint hearted, we’re sure you’ll agree. When the time comes to pick the crop, more workers will be brought in to help out- between fifty and a hundred is an average. Each vine is tasted to determine when it’s ready for harvest, all to make sure we get the very best in our glass.
Our job is the easy part- we just provide the tool, the Vinturi, you need to get the very best flavours from a newly open bottle, without having to wait any longer.
