Sunday 30th May: Designing our wine, Yarra Valley benchmarking and blogsite

We started detailed discussions this week with Estelle Dessup, our wine maker. Making a good Cabernet Franc varietal wine in the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux is a challenge. The garage at Hourcat Est needs to be converted into the “winery” and equipment installed. Harvesting will be done by hand and the wine matured in oak.

There seems to be more to write about every week ….benchmarking trip to small boutique wineries in the Yarra Valley yesterday…..working now on a bilingual blog site.
