Storyteller

Spring is pressing on “full speed ahead”, and the vineyard is rushing right along with it… The vines budded out quite vigorously this year, and helped by the warm temperatures of recent weeks, vine growth is running some two weeks ahead of norm. As you can see, we have not yet mowed the grasses, since we want to preserve as long as possible the “naturalness” of the vineyard ecosystem, for two reasons in particular: the benefits from useful insects, and the fact that the high grass “delays” development of some fungal diseases. So, fewer passes with the tractor, less foot-stamping, biodiversity, respect for the environment.
