Unlike in tropical countries, our plant world is adapted to the four seasons... and we, who live in the rhythm of nature, therefore have completely different tasks in each season. Today we want to talk about the art of pruning . If we follow the traditional order of winter, spring, summer, autumn, pruning is the first step that leads to the new harvest... and this step is a tough one!
We wait to prune the vines until the leaves have completely fallen off. Sometimes this happens as early as November, sometimes in December, definitely in January. Then we tackle the old wood...
Dear Swiss people and people living in Switzerland, today we have really good news for you: Our wines (and some others) are now available to buy in Zurich or online directly in Switzerland !

Outside, the (sleet) rain is falling. Hurrah! In the last few weeks, it has finally, finally rained heavily again. A whopping 300 litres of precipitation per square metre have fallen on us, and we cannot tell you how happy we are about it. All the dry streams are full to bursting, the rain is running down the mountain in a thousand rivulets, and even when you walk through the forest, it really splashes under your feet. Wonderful.

We have often mentioned that vineyards think in generations. It gets very exciting when this cross-generational planning is shattered by wars and family crises .
Our winery is located only about 20 km as the crow flies from the French border...
Anyone who stands in front of the wine shelf (and does not consider themselves a connoisseur) is often quite overwhelmed. So many names! So many quality specifications! What do I have to pay attention to? What does all this tell me? When different countries have been talking shop for hundreds of years and constantly adopting new definitions with many bureaucratic rules, it is no wonder that the result is an almost impenetrable jungle.
Honestly? Often you just buy the label you like, hoping that the contents will match.
Today we want to shed some light on the matter...
