"The Château de Santa, which my family had just bought in 12 years, was in a very bad condition, the vineyards were terraced and in disrepair, and the stones that fixed the soil and water on each slope were washed away......"

"Later, it was decided to rebuild the original 18th-century terraced rice fields, and then it took three years from preparation, design to finding a team to dismantle the original aging stone wall, and then use the most traditional method, that is, purely relying on the structural shape of the stone itself to form the wall ......"

"Solid soil, no cement to build the wall, a bit like Tetris to put it back together, and in the end even the locals were very recognizant of this approach, and many of the neighbors next to me followed suit and asked our team to help them restore the vineyard. ”

While tasting wine and listening to Guo Furong talk about interesting things, Shen Feng slowly realized the ups and downs of running a winery. For example, 11 was a year of great disaster, and many of the vines in their winery were sick and had to endure the pain of pulling out one-third of the old vines.

After three more years of soil cultivation, new vines can be planted, and the new vines will have to wait for six years to mature, and there will be no harvest for nine years.

"My greatest wish is that Castle Belleffen can be upgraded from Rank B to Rank B, and Castle Santa can be upgraded from Rank Special to Rank!"

Guo Furong said with a sense of mission: "We must not only make the wine to the extreme, but also need to achieve the ultimate in other aspects, such as repairing and decorating the manor, such as actively attracting tourists and doing a good job ......in wine tourism."

"It's a challenging business!"

"Hey, compared to your family, my father is only a halfway monk. Lang Sailing couldn't help but complain: "I don't know that tendon is wrong for 13 years, and I directly invested in Courtyard Winery in Spain?"

Shen Feng asked curiously: "It stands to reason that it is not easy to buy an old winery, right?"

"Or maybe it's fate. Lang Sailing said with a smile: "That year coincided with the world's overcapacity of wind power generation, and the economic downturn in Europe, a company with wind power generation steel pipes could only mortgage the shares of Kaiyi Winery to the bank. ”

"My dad happened to be looking for a winery through one of Christie's real estate partners in Spain and was never satisfied. The other party called and said that there were only two weeks to decide, and there was no time to do legal due diligence, let alone check the finances, so he flew to Spain the next day to make a decision directly. ”

"I even suspected that he wanted to launder money!"

Everyone laughed, and Guo Furong said enviously: "You just have fun, but it's a pity that our family didn't catch up with this kind of good thing." ”

"Do you know how rare the old vine is now?"

"The 10-year-old Tess Dry Red variety used in your winery is 100% Tempranillo, picked from 100-year-old vines, with an annual output of only 2,500 bottles, has it won an international gold medal?"

"Now the most ordinary bottle of Pang Dun dry red can easily sell for 4588!"

"Hey, you are all local tyrants, owning a winery is simply the ultimate dream of our life!"

Gao Ziqi said with envy and jealousy: "I can only hold wine tasting parties everywhere bitterly, accompany the laughter to recommend red wine to customers, it's good to meet knowledgeable people, I really want to meet laymen......"

"It's hard to put into words!"

Shen Feng smiled and shook his head, the so-called tasting, to put it bluntly, is still to promote red wine, but it is more professional and the audience's consumption power is higher. ”

What blind tasting of the same variety at different price points from different wineries in the same appellation......

Vertical tasting of the same wine from different vintages at a certain winery......

The same grape variety from both regions, comparing Argentine Malbec vs French Malbec......

"That's right!" Lang Sailing said with deep feelings: "Don't look at the Chang'an members seem to be very awesome, in fact, they ......"

"All kinds of worries about all kinds of details, first of all, the grade and quantity of wine must be fully considered, and there must be a targeted selection. For those who don't know much about wine, prepare some more popular wines with a light and moderate taste. ”

"If you are lucky enough to meet someone who really understands wine, you can decide according to your specific tastes, for example, you can prepare a few kinds of wine from the old and new worlds, and fully give everyone a stage to perform. ”

"It is also served with cheese with a stronger flavor, red meat, tomato grilled dishes, and dark chocolate. For white wines, it's better to have a softer cheese, fish, salad, ......"

"Set the table a day in advance, white tablecloths to complement the color of the wine, decanter, corkscrew, plenty of glasses, drinking water, napkins, pads, spitting buckets, trash cans, lots of ice buckets, ......"

"Plan the process yourself, prepare the wine list, memorize the information of each wine, in case someone asks a question on the spot, how embarrassing it is to forget the words!"

Although there were all kinds of complaints, Shen Feng could see a glow called a sense of accomplishment on the other party's face.

Although he is a rich second generation, he has his own ideals, has goals worth striving for, and is very fulfilling every day, which is good.

Compared to those fools who only know how to drive a sports car and hit the accelerator,

Much stronger!

Ke'er also felt very deeply, and originally had a bad impression of the rich second generation, but today the three peers in front of her are not only talented women, but also very mature in life.

Remembering a question, he asked, "Can ordinary people try to collect red wine?"

Gao Ziqi analyzed seriously: "Similar to other collections, I often suggest that novices who are just starting out should make a budget for the collection in advance, so as not to let themselves impulsively pursue the so-called rare wines and forget the real financial situation." ”

"For example, the average price of a bottle of wine is 100 yuan, and a case is 1200. If you collect one box every month, then the annual investment is 14,400 yuan. ”

"Storing 12 cases of wine a year is a good budget, equivalent to an average of two bottles a week, making it an affordable and affordable option. ”

"It must be noted that not all wines can be aged!" Lang Sailing continued, "Most of which are best drunk when they are young." The collection requires strict storage conditions and is taken care of by a special person. Once you're past your peak, your value is greatly reduced. ”

"Wines with high ageing potential are characterized by high tannins, high acidity, good structure and complex taste. If you want to get started, I personally recommend the French Médoc, Graf, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol and Bommard. ”

Shen Feng finally understood the doorway, it turned out that the value of red wine would gradually decline after reaching its peak, so he had to learn when to drink it, or shoot it directly.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you can be on Forbes, right?" Lang Sailing looked at Shen Feng and quipped: "For example, Liu Luanxiong, who is not only known as the harvester of Sister Hong Kong, is also a top red wine god." ”

Shen Feng was stunned, didn't he play stocks?

"As early as 28 years ago, when the boutique Lafite only cost 1,000 Hong Kong dollars a bottle, Liu Luanxiong, who played the craziest, had at least three or four parties a week, and drank at least 30 bottles of red wine each time. ”

Gao Ziqi, a native of Hong Kong Island, explained: "Later, I simply stocked up a large amount of good wine, but later the party couldn't be opened, and I heard that tens of thousands of bottles of fine products were saved. ”

"Valued at $2 billion!"

Shen Feng is also drunk, two billion dollars?

Even if half of it is bragging, it is seven or eight billion yuan!

He used to be a powerful tycoon, nicknamed Fan Liu in his early years, and now has four listed groups, including real estate, media, construction and manufacturing, ranking sixth among the richest people on Forbes Hong Kong Island with a net worth of US$16 billion.

The most talked-about thing is the romantic history, young and hunting everywhere, almost all famous actresses in the entertainment industry in the 8090s have been entangled with him, and they are known as actress killers!
