Hey winenut, quick side track update... first vintage of grenache is bloody fantastic... just need to plant or buy some Mourvedre now and we'll have your revered GSM... very happy with it considering such young vines.WTF are you saying here???
It seems the absolute opposite to what we're after
Bloody brilliant article. Articulates the struggle from the beginning in a really clear way. I hope there is a French version the people of the DRC can read…For any of you that have not yet read this , it will give you a more simple understanding in one summary of what has gone on over the last 2 years , even I had no trouble understanding it , this is a massive project and if it does not get mined by AVZ then somebody needs to pay good money for a takeover but what that is I have no idea but if both north and south are resolved and valuation of what is on the market today , north of $8 is my guess
Well that sounds interesting!Hey winenut, quick side track update... first vintage of grenache is bloody fantastic... just need to plant or buy some Mourvedre now and we'll have your revered GSM... very happy with it considering such young vines.
I can't help but think the truth will come out and AVZ plight will be known throughout the world making it almost impossible for the crooks to prevail. Down rampers will rabbit on about Sundance and other African deals that have gone sour but with the Advent of social media and the speed that information is dispersed and directed there is nowhere for the crooks to hide. The pressure we can apply from our lounge rooms is unprecedented and relentless. This awesome bit of journalism will be flying around Africa, Europe and the US as we speak. Specifically targeted (tagged) at those who can influence or be influenced. I have said before that this deposit is too valuable to be gifted to the CCP and used against the west in the war for for control of critical minerals. AVZ will prevail one way or another. IMHO

yeah, we'll likely try a blend soon enough on their own, haven't done yet as it was a small 23 harvest yield with all the wet weather back half of 22CY.... using both shiraz and grenache in our next rose.Hey Ox....
If you're getting great results from "young" vines that is fantastic!
With the new vines either Shiraz/Grenache or Grenache/Shiraz is also a super tasty blend in the absence of Mataro/Mourvedre...
Love them all....
I'll just put it out there that it's some absolute fuckwit.Anyone know who this absolute tool is? They seem to have an axe to grind

What did I say that upset ol' baggywaggy so much!????.......I'll just put it out there that it's some absolute fuckwit.
Jin Cheng is still proposing running with legal action in the DRC and we all know how that turns out for us.
We're not out of the woods until and unless the corrupt Mafia government turns around its stance.
Otherwise it's ICSID all the way which will take many years.
Besides Wino's post was before the official announcement from AVZ so this clueless, pissweak troll can get fucked!
