Vineyards can be both small & great in size They hold the evidence of hard work, determination & skill of both the winemaker & those working on the vines Varietals are grown, nurtured & harvested, ultimately releasing their natural aromas & those obtained through the various soil types & plant life found on the winery grounds Let's learn more about the humble yet spectacular vineyard The world's oldest known vineyard is the Areni-1 vineyard in Armenia, dating back over 6,000 years. The largest vineyard in the world is the Languedoc-Roussillon region in France, covering over 700,000 acres. Vineyards cover around 20 million acres worldwide. The ideal climate for growing grapes is in regions with warm days and cool nights. Grapevines can live for over 100 years, but most commercial vineyards replace them every 20-30 years. It takes around 600-800 grapes to make one bottle of wine. The world's most expensive vineyard is the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in Burgundy, France. The oldest wine-producing country is Georgia, with evidence of winemaking dating back over 8,000 years. Sustainable vineyard practices include using solar power, composting, and integrated pest management. #uniqueboutiqueandaffordablewine #southafricanwines #accessoriesandgifts #winesyoucantfindinstore #winesandspirits #lifestyleproducts #fyp #vineyardfacts www.invino.co.za

Ribera del Duero is certainly historic – the Romans tended vineyards here, as evidenced by the 66-meter mosaic of Bacchus, the God of wine, that was unearthed relatively recently at Baños de Valdearados. Modern viticulture as we know it today arrived with the Benedictine monks from Cluny in the Burgundy region in the twelfth century. Our logo is a testament to the history of the region, featuring the crest of Cluny monks linked with the thyrsus of Bacchus. As our ancestors did before us, we farm the land in the most respectful way, allowing each vineyard to be our teacher, with us as the students. This ongoing process of listening to and learning from each site and every vintage enables us to discover and share what each site is capable of expressing. We are continually reminded of the simple principle that most of the vital work occurs in the vineyard. Ribera has significant plantings of old vines, with as much as 9% over 80 years old. Between 1999 and 2014, almost two-thirds of Ribera del Duero’s old vineyards were lost. Given that prices are the same for old and young vines, there aren't many wine growers working these old vines in a professional way, unfortunately. Our vineyards consist of the 1/5 of vines in the region that are above 75 years old, and about 40% of our main holdings are above 100 years old. We see ourselves as guardians of the old, gnarly vines that have so much history and so many stories to tell. It is our blessing to work with them and our destiny to protect their presence and future.
