Before the morning dew has dissipated, explore the wineries and vineyards in the valley, and feel the variety of grapes and flowers in the morning light.

Sit under a parasol or in the shade of a chilled white wine when the sun is shining, and let the grassy Hunter Valley wine wash away the summer heat.

When the stars light up in the sky, in the warm midsummer night wind, the melodies of various performances begin to waft with them. Life at the winery is much more comfortable than expected, and Wang Hao is also eager to buy a property in this oldest place.

It's so close to Sydney and it's a quiet place to grow wine grapes better than the Golden Pastures, but because of that, the prices of these small wineries are so high that they can't be fetched without tens of millions of dollars.

After a trip, Wang Hao found that he still needed to continue to work hard, yachts, seaside villas, and wineries were all bought at a high price.

"Welcome to Lindemann Winery, I'm the general manager here, Christina, let me give you a brief introduction to our winery."

The blonde beauty who thought she was a receptionist turned into the general manager of the winery, and this change in identity is really big enough, Wang Hao and Liu Qiao glanced at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

Christina looks no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old, but when it comes to her own winery, she is very organized, "Lindemann Winery is 43 years old, and it is one of the few wineries in the Hunter Valley that sticks to the old-fashioned winemaking method, and it produces a small amount of wine every year, but it has been exported to Thailand, Europe, China and the United States. ”

"Sounds pretty good. Go inside and have a look. Su Jing is very satisfied with this manor, there is no forced consumption like shopping in the mall. The environment is particularly beautiful, and the green grape leaves are pleasing to the eye from afar.

Christina was very hospitable. She led everyone into the courtyard, letting the bright sunlight shine through the cracks in the grape leaves and onto the small tables.

"You sit down for a while, our winery has prepared some snacks and tasting wines for everyone, I hope you can enjoy it."

With a wonderful idyllic setting and a light snack, the drunken breeze blowing over the grape trellises, it's the most comfortable place to sit and have a chat.

The freshest local soft cheeses are served with Italian-style sun-dried tomatoes, and each person is served a small glass of refreshing low-alcohol rosé sparkling wine, and a few people lean back comfortably in their chairs to enjoy.

Doudou, the little guy, saw the beautiful wine in the glass. also stretched out his hand to grab it and take a sip, but was ruthlessly rejected by Cao Mengya, and the child still had less contact with these things.

The most famous grape variety in the Hunter Valley is Semillon, a well-known variety that originates from Bordeaux, France. A high-quality Semillon is suitable for ageing and is one of the more suitable varieties for ageing in white wines.

Young Semillon is also suitable for drinking, with a fresh apple aroma, but the aftertaste will be more sour, and after aging, the color will turn golden. The fresh apple flavor undergoes a chemical change in the bottle to give it a milky candy flavor. The biggest difference from the common Chardonnay is that Chardonnay generally needs to be cultivated in oak barrels to get a second layer of aroma, but Semillon does not need to be cultivated in oak barrels. After aging, it will have a natural fragrance.

High-quality vineyards are generally located on hills, which facilitate drainage after rains; Planted in a vineyard on flat land, if the soil is poorly drained. In case of heavy rain, stagnation of rain cannot be ruled out. The grape juice will be diluted, and the quality of the wine will not be too good.

Each wine at the winery can be tasted free of charge. Just talk to the waiter and you can enjoy a sweet and delicious wine, and of course, a necessary tip is indispensable.

Slowly, the number of tourists in the winery increased, and a few more families walked in, and the accents sounded like they were from the United States.

Although there is no compulsory consumption, after tasting so many fine wines, tourists have generously opened their wallets to buy a few bottles of wine back, which is effective and not disgusting to tourists, just let them know that they like the wine they like the most.

"Hey, can you excuse me?" Wang Hao opened his mouth to speak, realizing that the wine on his ranch had been completely ruined by his group, and the extremely rough winemaking method had caused those grapes to suffer great grievances.

Christina nodded, her hands clasped together and smiled brightly. "Of course, is there anything you can help with?"

"To be honest, I also have a big vineyard in Australia, which is certainly not comparable to your winery. The Hunter Valley is Australia's largest wine producer, so there must be a lot of winemakers here, right? ”

"That's right, the most famous winemakers in Australia are gathered here, and our senior winemaker at Lindeman, Pete Murphy. Hall is ranked in the top 10 of the Wine Institute and has won several winemaking competitions. ”

Christina proudly introduced the winemaker of her winery, and only then did she react, "You don't want him to jump ship to your winery, do you?" Man, it's not a casual thing. ”

Wang Hao knew that she had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "No, I just want to inquire about the freelance winemakers here, and I want to hire one to help my winery make wine, which doesn't take much time, just need to deal with it when it is brewing." ”

Su Jing gently pulled Wang Hao's clothes behind his back with his hand, then leaned over and said, "Aren't all the grapes in the pasture almost picked?" Why are you going to hire one now, just wait until next year. ”

"I happened to be here, I don't know if I can remember this next year, so let's book it first." Wang Hao explained that although there is a cowboy in Golden Ranch who can make wine, it is definitely not as good as these professional winemakers.

As an aspiring and ideal rancher in the new era, Wang Hao does not plan to just stick to the cattle and sheep, but is ready to develop the ranch comprehensively.

If you can make the best quality wines and win the annual wine competition, then there will be no shortage of attention, and there is no hope for this year, but there is a lot of hope for next year.

"I see, I think about it." Christina frowned slightly, and only after a few seconds did she speak: "There are still quite a few freelance winemakers in the Hunter Valley, but the most famous one is Andrew. Josh, his life is legendary. ”

Wang Hao's eyes lit up, "Can you tell me about him?" ”

He was curious to know what had happened to this man who could be called a legend.

"Andrew didn't belong to any winery or company, didn't have his own vineyard, didn't even have a professional wine cellar, he just rented a small warehouse in the Hunter Valley to make wine, and he was very creative. But in recent years, the wines he has made have not been well-known, and the sales are naturally not good, and I heard that the warehouse he rented will expire in March next year, and now he often sells his wines at the gate of the Hunter Valley Garden. ”

Christina adds: "You know, every winery has a limited number of grapes, and all he can buy is some materials that the winery doesn't want or are slightly inferior, and the wine made from such raw materials can still be sold, and his skills can be imagined." If you're lucky, you'll be able to run into him later. (To be continued......)
