The Independent Vigneron



The Independent Vigneron Charter that I came across really does say it all...


Not only do they respect their terroir, cultivate their vineyard, harvest the grapes, vinify their wine, produce brandy, botttle their own wine, sell their wine, perpetuate tradition and welcome visitors,

They own their own business, and as a result have to wear so many hats.

I cannot put into words the respect that I have for these individuals, and of course those that are the cooperatives too.
