Our businesses make sense
"As an oenologist, this is a cross-disciplinary job in which I supervise every stage of the wine-making process, from grape selection to bottling. You also have to know the terroir, understand the quality of the grapes and focus on the finished wine. More than just a palate, the oenologist is a chemist, a visionary, an aficionado, a manager and a lover of the earth. "
