A recent video of the AFP / report on a vineyard highland to the Kenya of the legendary of the Rift Valley, which is party of South African expertise in an extreme winemaking attempt near the Ecuador. Excerpt:
... Out of the blue, Farquharson received an e-mail saying a wealthy Kenyan businessman was looking for a specialist to develop its vineyards - and it is now more than three years, he decided to take up the challenge. He recalled "I said to myself that it was a chance for a great adventure to try something different,". Pius Ngugi, the businessman who has the nuts of the Kenya and Thika coffee Mills, had attempted to manufacture of wine from vineyards at his farm north of Lake Naivasha in the Rift Valley in the 1990s. Having decided that he was never going to achieve a constant quality wine, it is his project on hold. His son Mbugua Ngugi, knowing how close the project had been at the heart of his father, revived - but this time, seeking a professional winemaker and a winemaker who experienced Africa. Geographical location of the vineyard - right of 2,000 metres (6,500 feet) near the Ecuador, the 90 kilometres (55 miles) northwest of Nairobi - as the climate of the Kenya provide Farquharson with several challenges. But he knew extreme winemaking works around elsewhere, including Argentina which has some of the vineyards of highest in the world to more than 3 000 metres along the Andean mountain chain.A daily Business 2008 report explains the logistics of the viticulture and the high cost of production through its punitive damages when it comes to wine Kenyans. But the report is in agreement that "Kenyans are now engaged in finer things in life... wines have been performing excellently on the market."
