Winter gossip
This week in Alsace, the thermometer dropped to -15°C in some villages!
It may come as a surprise to you, but the cold heralds the first signs of winter. of an excellent vintage. As the snow slowly melts, the vines take the time to capture all the minerals essential to their development. During this time of year, vines also enjoy their winter vacation, returning from a vegetative period.
Nature’s cycle begins: the leaves change color, until they fall completely, leaving the vine bare.
The sap leaves the branches and takes refuge in the roots. Then the work of the next vintage begins, so that they can produce beautiful grapes.
To do this, we need to choose the branch where the buds will germinate, which will then give us the shoots on which the grapes will blossom.
We leave the vineyards and travel.
