Corsican Feast....





Returned last night from Corsica where Rose is putting together a white Vermentino for Ulithorne - its a beautiful refreshing white wine variety and is widely grown on both Corsica and Sardinia... will be a good addition to the brand. She also has a mission to find a quality Rosé from Provence and maybe a Tempranillo from Rioja Spain. The plan being to source single variety organic grapes from the best sites in the world for that variety, make a great wine with the grower and put them under our label - also a good excuse to travel. The 5 hour boat ride over to Corsica was a bit rough for the kids but we loved the Island's rugged interior and villages on the West coast. It would be great to sail around - next time. Rose has to go over again in December to do the final blend but that wine should be back in Australia in March next year.
