Winter
2010

Shantell News August, 2010

Vintage s well and truely over. and the wines have all been transferred to barrels for barrel maturation. The 2008 vintage wines are about to be bottled and we are about to go on our annual holiday for a bit of rest and recuperation. 

For the eighth consecutive year we have been host to 2 French trainee students. They spend 2 months with us at Shantell where their duties are mainly pruning, but also helping out in the winery for a bit of winery experience. It is a compulsory part of their studies to spend two months in a non-French speaking country to give them experience and practice in a foreign language.

  We very much enjoy having the French here all of whome have become our good friends. We have even visited a number of them in France. This year we will be visiting our first tranee, Bertrand, who is now a qualified winemaker and is managing a winery in Tuscany.
