NOW it's finally here: the long-awaited moment when the harvest begins! We can hardly wait to harvest the first grapes of the 2023 vintage. If you want to experience this magical time, you can swap your office desk for the field and work for a day or three weeks (and everything in between!). Only those who have ever been covered in grape juice from head to toe know how precious a glass of wine really is.
You want to know what you are getting yourself into?
The Weyher Wine Festival will take place from September 8th to 11th, 2023. The whole village will be on its feet and there will be musical and culinary offerings in every courtyard! It feels like the whole world is meeting in Weyher. OK, maybe that's a bit subjective. But there are actually several thousand people who all come to our idyllic village to enjoy and celebrate and spread a party mood.
Being in the right place at the right time ... so much depends on that. Entire destinies have developed differently than planned because you were in the right place at the right time. For us winemakers, such a decisive moment comes every year: when we decide when the harvest season begins.
But when is the ideal time to start harvesting grapes?
Very simple: when the grape is ripe.
And when is it ripe?
That's where it gets more difficult.
Being curious, people like to try every bottle in the winery. This is a little complicated to implement, because not everyone can stay sixty nights to try all the bottles. So we came up with a solution and offer three different wine tastings...
It should really be obvious. White wine is made from light grapes, and red wine from dark grapes. It's as simple as that. Or so you think. But then you stumble across Blanc de Noir. Literally "white from black" (the French exaggerated a little). It looks like a white wine, but is made from dark grapes. Great confusion! How is that supposed to work?
