We love springtime in Weyher. When everything around us slowly turns green again and the sap shoots back into the vines, our hearts beat faster. It's like a green rush after such a long time in grey and brown.
Therefore, in this newsletter we celebrate everything that is green and have come up with a spring offer for spring greenery :
Laypeople often think that rosé wine is simply a mixture of red and white wine. Wrong. To explain how it is made, we first have to take a closer look at the differences between red and white wine.
