Chapter 973: Excited old west (1/2)

In the afternoon, Xia Ruofei took Feng Wei to the Hunter Valley Garden under the mountain.

This is a revisit to Xia Ruofei. The last time he took Lin Qiao to this side, but also happened to meet Lin Qiao's high school classmate Tan Lili, which triggered a series of things.

Of course, because of the turmoil, Xia Ruofei finally received the largest Golden Oak winery in the Hunter Valley area.

Now that I am back in the Hunter Valley Garden, the scenery is still beautiful, and the theme parks are like dreamy wonderland. Xia Ruofei can't help but feel awkward.

Time has changed, the scenery here is still the same, but those people at the beginning may have their own life trajectories.

Tan Lili, who is going back to China to repeat the remarks, should now be the most stressful moment to prepare for the college entrance examination?

Tan Lili’s boyfriend, Zheng Peng, has already left Australia with her parents’ assets.

Robinson and Brody and Son of the Golden Oaks, after selling the winery, certainly did not dare to stay in the Hunter Valley.

Of course, these people are all self-sufficient, Xia Ruofei is only a little emotional, and will not sympathize with them.

Feng Wei was the first to come to the Hunter Valley Garden, and like the original Lin Qiao, was deeply attracted by the theme park here.

Snow White, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Cinderella... The scenes in a fairy tale are reproduced here. Feng Wei can’t help but burst into the heart of the girl’s heart, so that Xia Ruofei has taken a lot of photos for her.

The two had been playing for a long time and had a good time.

Early the next morning, they went to the West Winery together.

The batch of grape juice that was first brewed today has been deposited, and the old West workers poured the supernatant into the oak barrels for fermentation.

After Xia Ruofei and Feng Wei asked, they knew that the fermentation of white wine was very strict with temperature and must be controlled between 18 and 20 degrees. Otherwise, the aroma and taste of the wine would be greatly affected.

In addition, the whole fermentation process is about 2 to 3 weeks, that is to say, the grape juice contained in the oak barrels is placed in a constant temperature warehouse for about 20 days, the main fermentation period is completed, and it may take another week or two. The entire fermentation process will be completed.

By that time, the grape juice had actually turned into wine, and the oak barrels were opened to smell the rich wine.

Of course, the subsequent cultivation will continue in oak barrels. At this stage, the yeast that died after fermentation will settle at the bottom of the barrel, and the brewer will mix the dead yeast and the liquor at regular intervals to make the wine taste more rounded.

Finally, after a period of clarification, after removing impurities such as dead yeast and grape crumbs contained in the wine, it can be bottled.

After listening to the introduction of the old West, Feng Wei was disappointed and said: ”It will take so long! It seems that we can't wait for the wine to be bottled...”

At least one month before and after this time, Feng Wei is certainly not likely to stay in Australia for so long regardless of the domestic company.

Xia Ruofei has this possibility.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: ”Would you like to take a vacation! I will give you a month's holiday, and you will come to Uncle West to learn how to make wine every day!”

”You don't want it!” Feng Wei said. ”Since this is not possible for a while, let's go back to China!”

”Would you like... I will take you there after a month?” Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

In the past few days, Feng Wei has been very involved in the whole process of wine making. Xia Ruofei can see that Feng Wei is still very interested in this. Maybe it is a relaxing way for her!

Feng Wei hesitated and said: ”Let's see it again...”

This is obviously a heartbeat. If you change it before, Feng Wei will definitely refuse to do so.

Xia Ruofei looked at the old West again and asked some curiously: ”Uncle West, I just heard you say that these se wines will be bottled after almost a month? Wines are not all preserved in oak barrels. Why? Why did you bottle it so early?”

Old West said with a smile: ”Summer, this is the characteristic of the se wine in the Hunter Valley area of ​​Australia. Its ripening process is not done in oak barrels, but in the bottle! It is amazing that in The ripening se in the bottle is fresh and fresh with a hint of lemon, and after a period of ripening, it will develop a classic golden color, and the taste will become richer, such as toast, honey, grass fragrance, etc. ......”

Xia Ruofei nodded frequently and felt that it was a lot of insight.

I have to pay attention to everything. Before, he only knew some basic common sense. This time, through personal experience of the winemaking process, he also felt that there are a lot of details worth paying attention to, and these are valuables passed down from generation to generation. experience.

Old West added: ”Of course, oak barrels are still very important. The process of fermentation and cultivation of se is done in oak barrels. In the process, the smell of wood, grass and scent of oak barrels will blend into the wine. In the middle, the level of the wine is richer, so good oak barrels are also very important for wine making.”

“Oh?” Xia Ruofei said. “What about our batch of oak barrels?”

Old West smiled and said: ”It's not bad! The upper middle level. Of course, if it is the se grape of the previous years, it is enough to use such oak barrels, but this year's grapes are of high quality, I originally thought Looking for better oak barrels, but unfortunately this is not easy...”

Xia Ruofei’s heart moved a little and suddenly came up with an idea: “Uncle West, these grapes juice ready to be sent to ferment, can you give me two barrels?”

Old West stumbled and said: ”Summer, I am not willing to give you, the whole winery is yours, you want two barrels of grape juice is definitely no problem... However, the fermentation process must be strictly controlled The temperature, if it is given to you... these grape juices will definitely become sour in the end, it will be wasted!”

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: ”Uncle West, you should leave it alone. Anyway, our output is so high this year. It is a waste of two barrels to waste. It is when I drink it myself...”

The old West is actually unwilling. The quality of this year's grapes is particularly good. All the wines are the same as his heart, and I am willing to take two buckets at once! If Xia Xiafei is the owner of the winery, he will be ineffective even if he is against it!

Moreover, Xia Ruofei did not have the power to suppress people. Instead, he negotiated with him calmly, and the two barrels were not too much, so he finally nodded helplessly.

Old West waved a worker and was ready to take him to a constant temperature warehouse to carry out two barrels of ready-to-fermented grape juice.

Xia Ruofei quickly waved his hand and said: ”Uncle West, don't worry! I have a friend in Australia. The oak he planted seems to be good. I want to buy him two oaks. Can you help me see the quality? If the quality is good, Trouble asking me to ask someone to make a few oak barrels. When I want the grape juice to be in the new oak barrel, how about?”

”The oaks in Australia seem to be very common!” Old West said with some hesitation.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: ”When the wood is shipped, let's say it! If the quality is not good, then use the oak barrel of the winery. Anyway, just two barrels! No problem?”

Old West said with a smile: ”Summer, you are the owner of the winery! Of course, your request will not be a problem!”

”Thank you!” Xia Ruofei said happily. ”Uncle West, then we will leave!” After the oak is shipped, I will be the first to be sent to the winery!”

Old West was busy handling the grape juice, and hurriedly said goodbye to Xia Ruofei, and devoted himself to the work.

Out of the West Winery, Feng Wei curiously asked: ”If you fly, do you have a friend who grows oak in Australia?”

”Yes! My friends can be more!” Xia Ruofei said with a smile, ”I am going to contact the oak in the afternoon. You should rest on the farm for a long time, or let Liang Ge take you around to go around! No problem? ”

”Of course, no problem!” Feng Xiao said with a smile. ”I am not a child, but I am still with you all day! You are busy!”

Then, Feng Wei couldn't help but ask: ”If you fly, according to Uncle West, this fermentation process is so strict with temperature control requirements. Do you want two barrels of grape juice to come out, isn't it wasted?”

”I am useful!” Xia Ruofei said with a mysterious smile. ”And I will not leave them in the Wonderland Farm. I have to send it to a friend. In short, you don't care!”
