Back in the day, wine was made at Le Moulin. When we bought the property, we inherited a few dusty bottles of what was once good Malbec, but they are probably now best kept for decorative rather than drinking purposes. Sadly, the vines had been neglected since the last harvest in 2007. However, Marc and I are determined to bring the vineyard back to its former glory and re-introduce some fine Malbec wine for which this region is famous. Our priority is to use organic methods of viticulture that are in harmony with the environment. We’ve a lot of learning to do but all in good time. We’ve become so interested in making wine that we planted even more vines. Any friend or family guests who stayed with us during springtime were lured into the vineyard by Marc to help dig, plant, weed and water. A ‘ten-minute’ job often turned out to be a few hours of ‘slave labour’! But more often than not, that was the best part of their holiday – making memories and the promise of a couple of bottles of wine after the first harvest!
