Build A Stronger Team
Whether you are an emerging wine estate or a legacy Chateau, long-term success requires assembling a great team that works well together. I build winning teams using a blend of innovative strategies, a deep understanding of viticulture and enology and experience gained over forty harvests with both large and small wineries. I mostly work on long-term projects, either by myself or with help from my extensive global network. Proven experience with crafting award-winning Méthode Champenoise, White, Red and Desert wines; I bring with me a lifetime of mistakes, so you don't have to make them.
Grow A Tasty Grape
Yes, it is that simple. Provenance is everything. Vitis Vinifera reacts to the specific inputs it receives from above and below ground. We like to call it terroir, which sounds very romantic. I believe the investigation of the region coupled with the understanding of the winery principal's goal is a fascinating undertaking, one where I do not want to leave any stone unturned. Individualism can be tasted in the final product, and it all starts in the vineyard.
Elevate Your Wine Game
Formulas work great for beer producers and pharmaceutical factories. Wine, on the other hand, is a living, evolving product, in fact, it is one of the most complex solutions in nature - with over 1300 components. The science of winemaking is important as it is the base of the pyramid but sticking to formulas often leads to stagnation. Let me bring balance to your team so they can get inspired by the creative process, as I am.
