We Really Love Wine!

We really love wine. When we began farming wine all those years ago in 2001 the world was a different place. Apple announced iTunes and launched the iPod, the London Stock Exchange went public and, sadly, it was also the year of the 9/11 attacks, but here on a gentle hill in Elgin, a disused apple and pear farm was about to be transformed. It’s been hard work requiring enormous dedication and lots of committed people but here we are in 2010 (on the verge of 2011) and we are blogging! Our love has been made real in this project. I am very proud to be the co-owner of South Hill.

On Sunday, we are welcoming some of our most loyal, valued restaurant and retail partners to a day on the farm, a leisurely lunch and….some good wine! I think I might even have convinced Sean to bottle some of the barrelled 2007 Malbec – it’s taken some arm-twisting to release it - so hopefully our wine gurus will agree it was all worthwhile when they enjoy it on Sunday!
