WE PRODUCE ARTISANAL WINES

DISCOVERING PLACE…

Everything begins with ‘place’, a site that is unique and has a character of its own, with a story to tell. We are very human in our choices. We fall for beauty. Sun falling on the hills, gnarled ancient vines, old stone village walls, the faces of the people drinking coffee in the morning… We breathe in and inhale; the old vines burning in the fields, the Gitanes ‘sans filtres’ smoked with morning cognac, the fresh baked bread, the broken fruit, the grape juice fermenting in the cellars. We taste; we taste everything. Food, fruit, cheese and of course wine.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS…

Vineyard Productions began and remains based on a desire to build relationships. We wanted to have friends, friends that grew up in a place, understand it. Not only do we passionately believe we make better wines this way, but it makes our lives fuller, creating human connections around the world that we enjoy, and maybe our children might in the future. It is the winemaking that unites us, strengthened by the importance of ensuring all of our winemaking friends are fully incorporated in the projects, their stories told, their home respected. Our challenging approach to wine production creates conversation, consideration and soul-searching.

GREAT DESIGN…

Design that reflects the narrative of our stories is vital. Visual reflections of the wine, its personality, the place and people behind it. Ensuring that the labelling belongs to a place is important, takes on board local artistry, regional printing skills and paper sources that both belong and are environmentally considerate. Promises like these bring their own challenges, but also offer reward. Our Indian wine labels were drawn by hand with the charcoal from the wood fires of Nashik, in the hills above Mumbai. Our design team are fully integrated in the business, part of every conversation, about vines, winemaking, people, taste. When pencil goes to paper, the story they have to tell is theirs as much as ours.
