Terroir: Choose the best composition (sand, clay and loam), Ph and altitude for your custom grape variety
Wine: Define the characteristics (acidity, body, tannin and sweetness) that determine the typicality of your wine and the flavors it can obtain
Custom grape varieties can be used in Infinite Mode.
There are two ways you can load your grape in the game:
Current game: you can load the new grape from the Settings - Gameplay Menu
New Game: you can select the new grape you want in the new game before you start

Patch notes 1.1.2
Hello fellows Winemakers!
WE HEARD YOU ːlunar2019grinningpigː in this patch we have reworked the wear/dirt/broken state of the tools and machinery.
Now the dirt and broken state don't occur randomly, instead the tool becomes dirty after 30% of wear and it break if you neglect the dirt state. And for quality of life you will get automatically the cleaning card if a tool enter the dirty state, no more navigate through the building menu to search which tool become dirty!
The cleaning card will stay in the hand for 3 turns, the repair card stays forever.
The complete change-log:
ːHD_Grapeː ADDED all missing label localization ːHD_Grapeː BALANCE cleaning and repair cards are given automatically ːHD_Grapeː BALANCE Agata special order in story mode ːHD_Grapeː BALANCE Wine Awards requirements ːHD_Grapeː FIX removed empty game settings page from Main menu settings panel
Now we are working full speed on the first free DLC, the Grape lab, we will share more information next week!

Roadmap 2021
Hello fellows winemakers!
As promised in the last patch note we are here to give you some information on what we are working on! We will release 3 DLCs in the near future, and with near future we mean before the end of the year!
Let's talk about them!
The Grape lab will be our first free DLC. This expansion is more a tool than an actual new gameplay mechanics, in fact in the Grape Lab you will be able to create your own variety of vines, or recreate your favourite ones, and play with them in the endless mode!
You can expect this DLC somewhere around end of July/mid August.
Napa Valley will be our first brand new wine region that lets you play in the famous California terroirs and wines like Zinfandel along with new gameplay mechanics!
Napa Valley concept!
Napa Valley DLC will be ready for end of September/mid October
How could we do a Winemaking Simulator without touching a French wine region? The answers is "Of course not!"
So here we are, presenting to you the first Concept of the new Bordeaux wine region!
With this DLC we will also introduce a huge change to the gameplay... Blends and Cru! That's right you will be able, finally , make blends or decide to make single vineyards Cru! Unfortunately Bordeaux DLC doesn't have yet a release timeframe, but we will keep you updated on that.
Along with those changes we will include:
Wine aging and evolution after bottling
Technical analysis of the wine that give you intelligence of what's going on before bottling and the techniques and tool to correct the wine before going to market like Filter, copper treatment, oxygenate the wine and much more
This is an overview of the development direction we are taking and the whole team wants to personally thank you all for the amazing support and feedbacks!
Let's talk again on Friday with the patch notes for the 1.1.0 release
