If you really just bought a vineyard, you need to go hire someone that knows how to run it and learn from them. In about five years you can probably go out on your own.
Take all the grapes you harvest and eat them, your **** will make excellent wine.
Yeah . . . .
So you?€?re just into pissing money away and you have none left to hire true winemakers and grape growers, so you turned to Yahoo Answers to get your 3 paragraph crash course?? In that case, I just cloned a dinosaur in my kitchen . . . . Woo Hoo!
What happened to your Cambridge acceptance to get a law degree and your other promising future as a doctor???
I call B.S. on this one!
The Great Gazoo is right. Don’t expect to make a profitable vineyard out of what you can learn online or out of a book. Hire an experienced viticulturalist to manage the vineyard and winery for you. You can pick up the skills and knowledge over time.
Why would you purchase a vineyard… if you know nothing about grapes. That’s just amazing to me, Good Luck.
Growing grapes, talk to the area farmers, for making wine, the grapes need to be pressed to get the juice out of them, then a yeast needs to be added so that the yeast, a small critter can eat the sugars in the grape juice, and *** out alcohol as a waste from them into the solution. At about 10% by volume, there will be enough alcohol to kill most of the little critters, and then it needs to be treated to kill any left over. A visit to a distillery would be a great start to become acquainted with the complete process. What you might want to do is make a contract with a local distillery to manage the vineyard for you, thus relieving you of the work to grow and produce the wine yourself. There might already be a distillery waiting to hear from you with that thought already in mind.
Ho boy….Yikes!
You need a vine master, my friend.
The French have been developing their wine development process for millenia, especially in the South of France. I’m talking ancient Rome here….!
You need to consult a vine master or hire a vinyard consultant to show you what varieties you should grow.
If you have a history of your property and know what’s been grown there before…then grow that!
You purchased a vineyard in France and know nothing and are now on Yahoo Answers?
