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
