Hi Andy,

I don't grow grapes myself but know someone who does around Gandesa. It must be your hobby. It's a lot of work for poor quality coöparation-wine and very low prices for the grapes (this year 6 cent p/kilo!). Farmers arond here can't even afford to hire illegal afrikans anymore to harvest the grapes.

If it really is your hobby then don't go to a coöperative but try to work with one of the private cellars and try to make a small wine of better quality.

Good luck,
Mark
