We do a lot of talking about wine. So here are ten images of beautiful vineyards belonging to some of the winemakers whose wine we’ve been drinking over the past year.
1. McLaren valley, Australia
Sweeping vineyards in the evening sun. One of our most recent wines – Chapel Hill’s The Parson comes from the McLaren Valley in Southern Australia with the sea just over the hills.
2. Mendoza, Argentina.
Kaiken (who also own Montes) make their delicious Kaiken series in Mendoza. This picture shows the vineyards in the winter. Spectacular…
3. Douro Valley, Portugal
Steep valleys mean all the grapes are picked by hand making it an expensive process. But worth it.
4. Stellenbosh, South Africa
This is a view of one of our favourite brands: Fairview. Wonder whether you can see one of their famous goats…
5. Colchagua Valley, Chile
This is the view from the Montes vineyards. You can see the spectacular Andes in the background. This is definitely on the bucket list.
6. Côtes du Rhône, France – the glorious E.Guigal
Birdseye view of their perfectly kept vineyards, they’re certainly using all available space…
7. Alsace, France
This beautiful French village that borders Germany has belonged to both countries a few times. It’s has Germanic influences all around. We’ve had wines from the great Hugel winery.
8. Barossa Vale, Australia
This is stunning. The Barossa Vale is also where our multiple awarded Dandelion Vineyards are from. Nice place to be.
9. Ribeira del Duero, Spain
From here we had wine from Montevannos made with the Tempranillo grape. Here’s a very leafy vineyard in the evening sun.
10. Paso Robles, California
Last but not least, we have California. We’ve had wine from Smoking Loon made from old Zinfandel vines. The harvest has just taken place here, no grapes to be seen… they’re off to make us some delicious wine.
