The variety of the soil texture, the breezy climate, and most importantly the range of temperature change give rise to an environment that belies the natural inclination of this land for wine growing. Situated amid pink granite hills and wood of ancient olives and carob trees, the overall size of the cellar is 2700 square meters, of which 120 are used for aging, 1000 for vinification process, and 500 house the machinery, services, cold cellar, and destemming area. Two further buildings measuring 400 square meters ON THE MARKET each stand alongside the cellar. The first building houses the tasting and direct sales area, while the second will be used a commercial marketing area and conference hall. 21 Sardinia ON THE MARKET Sardinia ON THE MARKET 22 DELAVIA WINE ESTATE A LUXURIOUS LIFESTYLE WINE FARM WITH STYLISH OPULENCE South africa AND ELEGANT COMFORT 23 SouthStellenbo AfricaSch Stellenbosch is perhaps the most famous wine-producing region in South Africa.

The Golden Triangle, a sub-region in Stellenbosch, is widely recognised as SA’s finest wine-growing sub- region. This terrain allows for a lot of variation in wine styles, and meso-climates suitable for the cultivation of all sorts of grape varieties can be found among the ON THE MARKET exposed hills and sheltered valleys.

  • 'English Wine Is a Particularly Exciting Industry to Be in Precisely Because
    96 | IMBIBE.COM | ENGLISH & WELSH WINE NEW frontiers The burgeoning English and Welsh wine scene is awash with innovation, finds Peter Richards MW obb and Nicola Merchant are proud of many things at their White Castle Vineyard in Abergavenny, Wales. One of them is their fortified red wine ‘1581’, made from the Regent grape variety and aged for several years in barrel. RAnother is the Cabernet Franc they planted to celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2019. ‘It’s a really exciting time in Wales at the moment,’ grins Robb. ‘Our focus is on Welsh identity and quality. No compromise.’ While the notion of Welsh fortified or Cabernet Franc may raise eyebrows, the Merchants are far from atypical in the context of modern English and Welsh wine. Experimentation, innovation ‘English wine is and diversification are words ringing round UK vineyards as a particularly exciting winemakers feed off the momentum of a fast-growing and increasingly popular UK wine scene. industry to be in precisely because we’re not bound A SPARKLING SUCCESS Of course, that momentum has largely been generated by up in red tape’ one specific wine category: traditional method sparkling wine. Mark Harvey Although the history of English and Welsh viticulture is largely a story of still wine, the move to quality-driven traditional method fizz that began from the late 1980s onwards transformed this fledgling industry, attracting investment from champagne houses such as Pommery and Taittinger along the way. Such has been the success of traditional method fizz that two in every three bottles of English and Welsh wine are sparkling, and these are almost exclusively made by the traditional method (99%, according to trade organisation WineGB).
