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 humanly curious, we'd love to try every bottle at the winery. This is a bit complicated to implement, as not everyone can stay 60 nights to try every bottle. So we've come up with a solution and offer three different wine tastings...
Open to the world: As international globetrotters, we speak English fluently. We'd be delighted to welcome you for a wine tasting in English!
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?
June 21, 2023 was midsummer, 16+ hours of daylight . The sun rarely shines that long! If you are sensible, you avoid sunburn in the summer weeks with sunscreen. But how do we protect our grapes from sunburn? AND: Can grapes even get sunburned?...
