It’s my Vineyard

One of our bigest problems this year was to manage the vendanges, in previous years totally organised by the Grandjean family. We dont have outbuildings set up to receive the 20 to 30 people who we need to help pick our grapes. We had to find local people who would come for ‘ la grande journee’, that is they do not need feeding or lodgings. Through a vigneron friend we managed to find Monsieur Uaysal! He lives locally and during the harvest time he gathers his extended family around and together they pick grapes from several vineyards in the region. We are confident that with his experience and the reputation the Turkish people have for working hard and conscientiously, all will go well.
We will need to oversee and manage the whole operation and make sure that things go smoothly in the cuvage as the grapes get delivered for the first stage of the wine making process. M.Uaysal is at the moment in Turkey on holiday at a health spar! Hope he comes back……
