The story of a boutique wine collection and the growing of a vineyard...
Are grape production methods used to make the most flavoursome wines possible or are the methods employed merely on an economic decision?
Well, compare these two strategies...
Boutique winemakers like to actually drop grapes on the ground to ensure that they keep their crop levels to around 3 tonnes of grapes per acre. This low-yielding regime ensures that the nutrients are infused into fewer grapes... creating a taste sensation
Compare this to a mass produced wine which probably comes from a vineyard that cropped 8, 10 or even 20 tonnes of grapes per acre... which is an economic decision rather than a love for winemaking.
It is this difference in philosophy that makes the wines from the boutique wine producers stand out!
