Fulin Lake Winery is not big, and after walking in, Wang Hao found that although it is very small, it has all kinds of organs.

The winery has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a wine cellar, a separate guest room, and unobstructed views of the foothills of the Brokeback Mountains in the Hunter Valley.

In front of the house there is a well-tended garden, through which the water flows, the flowers are violet, and a few sunshades are erected.

What a pleasure to have a few drinks in such a beautiful view, listen to the sound of running water, and feel the tranquility of the vineyards.

"Since the beginning of our winery, the most important thing has been the quality of the wines, and only 12 hectares of vineyards are planted with vines planted at the beginning of the vineyard, with an average age of more than 30 years, which is the best age."

Steven looked very proud, the vines in his winery were antique, the first Cabernet Sauvignon in the Hunter Valley.

Wang Hao is also ignorant of this, and he is not worried that Andrew will collude with Steven to deceive himself, because he can feel the vigorous vitality of these dragon-like vines when he walks through the neat grape trellises.

The vineyards planted on the hillside form a tight carpet whose colours change with the seasons. The seedlings planted on the gentle slopes of the vines are never cultivated on the plains, because the slopes provide them with plenty of sunlight and light, and they also enjoy the nourishment of the high-quality soil, which is planted in rows from northeast to southwest.

In order to ensure the quality of the wine, Steven also insisted on low production and high quality, and appointed a special person to manage the vineyard. Grape yields are controlled by pruning, so even in bad years. The winery also maintains a high quality very well.

All grapes are harvested by hand and traditional winemaking methods are used. Fermentation is carried out with an open lid and a light pressure on the pomace, which softens the tannins and gives the wine a more affinity.

After the grapes have been fermented, the wine is naturally clarified directly into old oak barrels. The following spring, the wine is moved to smaller new French oak barrels, where it is aged for 18 months before being bottled. As a result, the wines of Lake Forlin can be drunk at a young age, and when aged, they are much better than most Australian wines.

Vineyards stand against the blue sky. Wang Hao walked through the endless vineyards, the sun shining obliquely on his face through the grape trellises, but he did not hide from it at all.

These long-growing vines have grown to the size of a tree, and clusters of black-purple grapes hang down from the verdant foliage, and these Cabernet Sauvignons are the best ingredients for winemaking.

"The Cabernet Sauvignon is not ripe yet, it is about a month later than the rest of the grapes, so if you buy a winery, these grapes can be used to make wine, and I have old wines in my cellar."

Steven didn't know if the young man in front of him could come up with so much money. After all, he had already posted the news of the sale of the winery on the intermediary and the Internet, but he found nothing except a few phone calls from companies that were not interested.

Wang Hao knew that these were kind people, and he also said very boldly: "I probably shopped, and the quality of these grapes is indeed very good." This year has been another bumper year. Moreover, the winemaking equipment in the winery is quite complete, and we plan to build a modern wine laboratory and take the mechanized and technological winemaking route. ”

"That's what Andrew thinks, right? After so many years, I still can't let go. It doesn't matter which method is actually brewed, what matters is how good the wine tastes and tastes. ”

Steven knew his old friend well. He just smiled, as long as the winery was sold. How to make wine is Wang Hao's business, and it has nothing to do with him.

Andrew, who was following them, laughed unkindly, "I use a machine to make wine, don't you feel sorry for the grapes here?" ”

"In fact, I hope that your research results can be put into practice, we are still using the winemaking process of hundreds of years ago, and the whole wine industry has fallen into a bottleneck, and the quality cannot be effectively improved, maybe it needs to be changed."

Wang Hao nodded, everything needs to keep pace with the times, and he said, "So what is the selling price of this winery?" ”

Finally came to this time, Steven took a deep breath and said: "You visit around and find that this place is actually not big, but it is all high-quality, the price I listed on the agency is 2.4 million Australian dollars, if you want to buy it now, I can reduce it for 50,000 yuan." ”

Wang Hao frowned undeniably, he had already searched on the Internet when he went to the toilet before, and knew that the price here was indeed very high, but the area of the other wineries hanging out was more than that.

"Man, the value of these grapes is not comparable to that of other wineries, and they can make hundreds of thousands of dollars just after they are made into wine. If it weren't for my anxious use of money, I would definitely not have chosen to sell at this time. If I could delay it for another month, I wouldn't have done it. ”

Just a few days ago, Li Ka-shing's incense ~ Hong Kong Cheung Kong Life Science Group Co., Ltd. acquired Australian brewer Mark for 15.7 million Australian dollars. Williams's 650 hectares of vineyards translate to just over $20,000 per hectare.

Now, 12 hectares of land at Forlin Lake Winery costs 2.35 million Australian dollars, which translates to more than 190,000 Australian dollars per hectare.

Wang Hao is rich now, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, this price should be lower.

"Steven, I'm very sincere in talking to you, and as long as the price is right, I can get to work on it right away. I also have a ranch in NSW, so don't doubt me. ”

Steven is indeed asking for a price, because the Chinese characteristics of people who are stupid and have more money and die to save face have been discovered, and he was not embarrassed after being debunked, but slapped his arm, "There are ranches and wineries, I can't do this at your age." ”

Andrew also frowned, he finally saw that his dream was about to come true, and finally someone had the discernment to find his shining point, and he didn't want Wang Hao to give up this winery.

So, he simply said: "Steven, don't talk so much, I don't know the value of your winery?" Let's give us some real numbers, or we'll look at the rest of the wineries. ”

Just taking advantage of this opportunity, Steven simply got off the donkey: "Two million Australian dollars, nothing can be less." ”

This price is about the same as Wang Hao's psychological price, and there is still a month to make up for the grapes, which is not a loss, and after dealing with the matter here, he will go back to the ranch to get the beef cattle to Sydney for auction. (To be continued......)
