Ramiiisol Vineyards is seeking an Exceptionally Talented Winegrower/Organic Viticulturist
Ramiiisol Vineyards (www.ramiiisolvineyards.com) is looking for a scientifically educated Viticulturist (with emphasis on biological/agricultural sciences and viticulture) who would like to learn under the direction of Alberto Antonini, our organic grape processing, fermentation, and aging processes and become our master winegrower with responsibilities for our vineyards and winemaking.
Our Ramiiisol Terratorium is located in the Monticello AVA of Virginia, USA and within a challenging climate for organic farming; however, we are six years into what we like to call our “Grand Experiment” and our vines and wines are well along the path to success.
Our chosen candidate will assume responsibilities for our vineyards and wine processing. The candidate must have an unbounded mind, a grasp of the big picture, as well as an excellent eye for details. We are seeking a person with an insatiable, curious mind and a passion for experimentation in organic farming, who also has excellent communication and leadership skills.
Qualifications should include:
• A humble approach to nature combined with a passion for the pursuit of a career in organic viticulture.
• An education (college level strongly preferred) in viticulture and working knowledge of biodynamic and organic practices.
• A strong interest in winemaking with an appetite to learn. Good observational and diagnostic abilities and an understanding of general farm and cellar equipment.
• Good communication skills and knowledge of team management and administration.
• Excellent work ethics, extremely flexible and willing to commit to long hours as nature demands.
• A knowledge of Spanish with fluency highly desired.
As part of our commitment to fostering excellence at Ramiiisol, we support the on going learning and education of our team along with other multiple benefits.
