The Indiana Jones of viticulture and winemaking; according to Alder Yarrow, allegedly.
Makes wine for #JardinOculto in Bolivia

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

María José and I are blown away by this piece.
It captures the excitement of the Jardín Oculto project, and how fun and rewarding it is working with these vines and making the wines.
Cannot thank @JancisRobinson enough, and for the feedback on our wines.

Thrilled to be able to spread the story of @vinosity's adventures with ladders in Bolivia with a wider readership https://t.co/HyPlUk6M00 Good wines!

@johnmaher12 My travel plans fell through, so I ended up staying in Tarija.

I am so glad you are enjoying the country.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@bithumano @andrespucci Gracias.

Me había perdido esto.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@andrespucci Mil Gracias, Andres.

Pienso que lo cosecha está realmente de moda en estos momentos.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@floydiancosmos @bithumano @andrespucci @jardinoculto1 Hola, buenas noches.

Lamentablemente, hemos agotado los 21 y ahora nos quedamos con los 23.

Puedo enviarte por DM el número de la oficina si deseas comprar algo.

Pienso que es igual de bueno, quizá incluso mejor...

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@bithumano @floydiancosmos @andrespucci @jardinoculto1 Gracias, Marcelo.

Muy amable.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@MrArgentina It's a truly special place.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

A few gratuitous shots of Finca San Roque.

In the five years I've been working with this vineyard, it's the best it has ever looked.

(mostly down to us taking full control from last year)

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@ellieq Somehow, looking at the rest of the comments, I knew that would be the case.

Blimey!

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@ellieq £29 for a burger!?

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@ChrisHaywood1 @ArdenPaul4 Come and join the white side...

Our BdN is our biggest seller (which is a surprise for South America, where most people drink big reds)

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@johnmaher12 Since you are already in touch with Majo, I will leave any visit to be arranged between the two of you.
Getting from Tarija to La Paz is easy. You can fly with BoA.
Anything else, just sing out.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

Lunch in Samaipata.

Chancho al palo.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@FelicityCarter Thanks Felicity!

And that's not the half of it, his sister is an ex Miss India.

When you randomly bump into your nephew from Australia, that you haven't seen in eight years, at Santa Cruz airport in Bolivia.

I had just arrived from the UK, and he was catching a domestic flight to Riberalta.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@humanleon It was such a wonderful surprise!

He's going to come and visit me in my part of the country.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

Tomorrow...

MAN>LHR>GRU>VVI

Then Samaipata on Friday for a JO dinner at Casa Charo, before returning to Tarija next Monday.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

@JoseGrapes @CMMwine @JancisRobinson Yokich only have Moscatel in their vineyard.

They buy the other varieties.

We have those three, and others at San Roque (which we own)

Also the Yokich vineyard is not at 2450m asl.

[Nayan Gowda @vinosity]

Reykjavik really turning it on for my last day.

Hoping, if it stays clear, to see the Aurora Borealis tonight.
