Who would believe that Ireland is a wine producing country? Yes it is! It is actually listed as a wine producing country. The Wine architect is David Llewellyn not the Welsh novelist and script writer but the now famous Irish winemaker that created the first commercial Irish winery in Lusk. You find lusk 30 kilometers north of Dublin.
A zone with a moderate micro climate and less rain than most parts of Ireland. David makes as well the only Irish Balsamic vinegar and some astronomically sexy cider which both tastes absolutely divine. The focus for this visit was the wine.
Honestly with quite a lot of skepticism I got on my flight to Ireland to visit many sites for gastronomic delights. More on TLTV! The visit to David and has orchard and winery proved to be one of the highlights.
All the vines grow under plastic.. Vinification is done completely by hand and the pressing with an apple press (works like a charm) and the rest is a lot of perseverance, TLC, blood sweat and tears by David. The tears have changed into smiles as David really has created something very special. Why you find that in the interview.
Enjoy!
