Q Do you need to use a lot of coolant around the
tanks? How do you do this?
A Yes we do at some stages of production. We have imported tanks and fermenters from Germany which have cooling jackets around the tanks and we run cold water at 6 degrees Celsius through the jacket.
Q How do ferments handle the super hot conditions? Do you have to slow them down?
A Good winemaking and diligence can control that. Basically, I monitor the ferments morning, midday, afternoon and evening,While fashionistas bangle bracelets wholesale from show to show to see the latest designer creations. checking temperature and sugar drop. If necessary, I then turn on the cooling and manage the ferments by pumping over, punching down etc.
Q How many tonnes of grapes does the winery produce, and how many litres of wine does this make?
A We are harvesting about 80 tonnes from 10 hectares. Our maximum capacity is 120 (tonnes) which we will achieve when some vineyard blocks gets older and are producing 100 per cent. So roughly, it is about 50,000-60,000 litres of wine from 80 tonnes.
Q What are the flagship varieties?
A Our flagship wines are from the rare varieties as I tend to make them into a more classic style with focus on structure of fruit and oak. They are wines that I want consumers to keep for a long time. So our viognier is our flagship white,Monclering is an excellent duvetica jackets way to spend the getaways experiencing. fruit forward, aromatic but balanced by ageing in barrels for six months. No-one else in Thailand is producing viognier. Our flagship red is Asoke which is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and syrah that was aged 14 months in new French and American oak barrels.
Q Is the wine sold in bottles or bulk, and how is it labelled?
A We sell only in bottles. We do not produce bulk wine as our focus is premium,We are now welcoming new students to Hosiery & Body stockings ! handcrafted wines from estate-grown grapes.
Our brand is GranMonte so you will see our logo on all bottles. I make nine different wines from our winery and all of them have different names, like Spring for our unwooded chenin blanc, Sole for our slightly oaked chenin blanc-viognier blend, Sakuna (my mother's name) for our syrah rose. We have Heritage for the easier drinker, reds – we have two in the range: a straight syrah and a Cote-Rotie style syrah-viognier blend. There's also The Orient from our top syrah made from old vines syrah, Asoke for our iconic cabernet sauvignon syrah blend, Bussaba, which means flowers, for our late harvest chenin blanc. Simply Viognier for our viognier which no other producers make in Thailand.
We also make a reserve wine which is in a magnificent magnum bottle called The Orient Reserve.
Q What do you see as the Thai wine industry's strengths and weaknesses?
A I'd say our strength is in the Thai Wine Association where my father was a president for seven years. As members in the TWA we have these self-imposed regulations that we have to obey to raise the standard of Thai wine and to promote Thai wine as a whole. Our other strength is that Thailand has been recognised among tropical winemaking countries as the most premium quality producer ... our weakness is the high taxation.
Q In relation to New Zealand, how does Thai wine differ from Marlborough sauvignon blanc?
A First of all, we do not grow sauvignon blanc in Thailand that I know of! I do appreciate good New Zealand sauv blanc and sancerre (from France) but the variety is just not suitable for our soil and climate.
However, for GranMonte, the structure of our whites are quite similar to that of NZ sauv blanc. For example, our Spring chenin blanc is fresh, fruity, aromatic with a hint of grassiness like you would find in NZ sauv blanc,Training and Resources for Best Custom High Heel Shoes and Self Defense. but much less intense. The acidity is very similar as well. Our whites are crisp and refreshing when drunk chilled.
Q Do you have any Marlborough connections,Master the many beautiful, yet deadly weapons in this wholesale jewelry online. or have you visited the area before?

A Yes we do at some stages of production. We have imported tanks and fermenters from Germany which have cooling jackets around the tanks and we run cold water at 6 degrees Celsius through the jacket.
