Chapter 99 [All in View]
Oh, how could there be so many wild grapes in this valley? Standing at the foot of these wild grapes, Belsinger carefully searched his memory. He had never seen wild grapes since he was a child. Have you ever eaten wild grapes?
Are these wild grapes all wild? Maybe he was too young and forgot some things. So he quickly took out the mobile phone in his pocket and called the old housekeeper who was far away in Sinjar Town to deal with the extortion case in court.
Fortunately, the signal transmission tower that he bought at a high price finally came in handy. He could also make calls in the mountains. The old housekeeper picked up the phone after a few beeps.
"Master, is there anything you want to call me for?"
Belsinger looked at the hundreds of wild grapes that almost climbed to the top of the mountain and asked blankly. "Housekeeper Jamal, you are a living fossil in our family. I want to ask you, have you heard that some wild grapes were artificially planted in the back mountain?"
Jamal was stunned when he heard this, then thought carefully and shook his head to confirm. "Master, the orchard on the back mountain has been managed by your great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and grandfather for hundreds of years. Many fruits are planted, but most of them are common fruits. I don't think I have heard of wild grapes being planted since I can remember. Have you discovered that there are wild grapes growing on the back mountain?"
Are there any more? The wild grape vines in front of me are almost as big as a small grape estate, with hundreds of them densely climbing on the mountain. The grapes are all red and purple, and the number of grape bunches is countless. If they are not harvested in a few days, these grapes will rot.
Or they will be eaten by some wild beasts and birds and wasted in vain. It seems that this piece of wild grapes is purely wild. It is also possible that a bird ate wild grapes somewhere else and came to the Ragar Valley to rest and defecate here. The undigested grape seeds took root and developed little by little to the current scale.
The old butler would not lie to himself. The old butler said he didn't know, so it must be wild. So Belsinger was so excited that his face flushed and he laughed. "My old housekeeper, aren't there wild grapes growing in the back hills? They grow in patches, and these are all wild wild grapes."
"Look at the diameter of those vines, they are at least 40 to 50 years old, and the bunches of wild grapes they produce are simply countless. Now 95% are ripe, and you must know what this means, hahahaha, I'm so lucky."
Oh, it's incredible, it's a rare and lucky thing to be able to find such a large population of wild wild grapes. Although India is not a major wine producing area, Indians rarely drink wine. But some people in India know that wine is a good thing, but it's expensive and rarely drunk.
All the grapes in the world are domesticated from wild grapes, and the grapes used to make wine are the closest relatives of wild grapes. Therefore, the grapes used for winemaking are very small and taste sour and astringent. Wild wild grapes also have this characteristic, sour and astringent.
It doesn't taste good at all, but it is a very top-level winemaking raw material, and it is in the wild wild grape red wine. The nutritional elements are several times more than those of the red wines brewed by those red wine wineries, and they are more durable in cellaring. The longer they are stored, the better they taste.
There are so many hundreds of wild mountain grapes. The mountain grapes produced at such an old age must be of the best quality. How many wines can be brewed from countless grape bunches? With these hundreds of wild mountain grapes, wine can be brewed every year, endlessly. When the mountain wines are stored for more than ten years, they will definitely be the most overbearing in terms of nutritional content and taste.
Lucky, today is really lucky. The old housekeeper also smiled happily for his grandfather. "Then I understand, Master, you call me and ask if you need a set of equipment to measure wine. Hahahaha, I'll do it right away. You have to give me a quantity level. How much is the output of these mountain grapes and how big a machine should I buy."
Belsinger took the phone and walked around the valley where the mountain grapes grew twice and carefully estimated that there were hundreds of mountain grapes. The farthest tree trunk I climbed up the mountain was over 20 meters, and the grape bunches on it were densely packed. Although these grapes were small, there were too many of them, so I carefully estimated them.
The weight of each grape tree would be dozens of kilograms, which means a yield of thousands of kilograms. Excluding some crooked, cracked, and rotten green grapes, the total yield would be around 1,000 kilograms, and a small set of winemaking equipment would be enough. However, the number of oak barrels used for wine aging must be sufficient. After all, the winemaking machinery only turns these grapes into grape juice, and after filtering, the grape juice is placed in the oak barrel for fermentation and aging. It only plays a role of crushing and filtering, and the oak barrel is the real soul.
Then he said excitedly, "There is about 1,000 kilograms of wild grapes, and a small winemaking equipment is enough. But the oak barrels for aging must be purchased from Bordeaux, France. It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive, the quality must be good. And the quantity must be very large, choose the most accurate 225 liter and 30 liter oak barrels."
My master needs perfection in everything he does, even brewing some wild mountain wines actually requires custom imported oak barrels from France. How much does that cost? The old butler can only agree and inquire through various channels. The price of these oak barrels will be reported to his master, and the number of oak barrels to be purchased.
After the call ended, Belsinger jumped up and down excitedly as if he had seen a mountain of gold, and the bruises on his back were pulled and he grimaced in pain. At this time, he ordered the human Rosebrook who followed him, pointing to the yellowing wild mountain grapes and said.
"Brook, I leave you a task, just keep an eye on this col, and don't let me destroy the wild mountain grape vines in it. After collecting these wild mountain grapes, protect them well, so that new grapes will be picked every year. New wine can be made, and then there will be fine wine, hehe."
As for grapes, it seems that everyone knows them. Although wild grapes are very small, they are the same as grapes. More than half of the gardens in Belsinger Castle are planted with various grapes. The maturity is different, but the taste of each grape is very sweet. It can be used for a year, so Brook is not unfamiliar with grapes.
My master ordered it, so how can I be careless? I quickly nodded and agreed, patting my chest and said. "Master, don't worry. I will be responsible for the safety of these grapevines and will never let anyone destroy the grapes. But can you give me some of the wine you have brewed?"

At a young age, he is addicted to wine. After 1,000 kilograms of grapes are crushed and filtered, about 600 kilograms of grape liquid can be left. In addition, after three years of aging, some of it will evaporate, and at least 500 kilograms of red wine can be left. That is almost a thousand bottles of wine, which is definitely not enough to drink. Of course, there is no problem in giving some to his subordinates.
