Von Stolz & Dankbarkeit: Feiert mit uns Erntedankfest!

Ihr habt ja schon mitbekommen, dass wir gern Pfälzer sind. Tatsächlich sind wir sogar stolz darauf, obwohl es eigentlich seltsam ist, stolz auf eine Sache zu sein, auf die man partout keinen Einfluss hat - denn wer sucht sich schon aus, wo er geboren wird und aufwächst? Aber so sind wir Menschen nun einmal; wir lieben unsere Scholle und wehe dem, der unsere geliebten Traditionen in Frage stellt. So weit, so gut. Doch man kann es auch übertreiben:

Do you remember how we raved about the sensational year 2025 a few weeks ago ? No frost, rain, and sunshine in a wonderful alternation – everything's perfect! We already knew that this year's yield would be about 20% lower than average because the flowering period was prolonged and there was a minor cold snap that meant not all the flowers were pollinated .

On the other hand, we didn't find this so tragic, because it resulted in the grapes growing more "loosely" this year (i.e., with a bit more space between the bunches). This ensures good ventilation and prevents...

When the whole world smells of blossoms, you're either in love – or in Weyher. Because the grapes have begun to bloom ! The delicate scent envelops us and enchants us anew every year. This year, it's a little later than usual – the beginning of the year was cool. But this is actually our "normal" continental climate... as it was twenty years ago.

But no matter when the blossoms begin, the bees and bumblebees are thrilled. Every year, we receive a visit from a queen , who is placed in the vineyard with a small entourage of worker bees and her hive. For many years, good friends who are experienced beekeepers have been responsible for the royal arrival. The bees then only have to fall headfirst into the blossoms to find their nectar. A life of paradise, truly! If the bees are full of energy, they can also fly to the chestnut trees that bloom not far from the vineyards...
