McGuigan Wines plans new city vineyard

McGuigan Wines is planning to build a city vineyard – bringing 80 Semillon vines aged over 60-years old – in Dublin in September 2012. The vineyard will be open for nine days in the Irish capital’s financial district, complete with a cellar door, wine barrels, tractors and chief winemaker Neil McGuigan. Paul Schaafsma, UK & Ireland general manager for brand owner Australian Vintage said the company would bring customers from the UK and Europe to visit the spectacle, reports Harpers Wine & Spirit.
