a while.

Summertime -
2010-8-9, 11:18 am
It's August and the only reason why you didn't hear from us for some time now ist that summertime is
always extremely busy and we have lots of work to do in our vinyards. Especially in June and July we
spend most of the time out in the vinyards and when there is some left we have to bottle the first
red wines of the last vintage. But that's done and a great 2010 vintage is already foreseeable!

the confused Vine Moths -

am
Walking through a vinyard in this time of the year it's pretty easy to spot red ribbons wound around
grapevine shoots every few meters or so. What they are useful for is explained by the occurance of
one of the more dangerous pests in winegrowing, the Vine Moth.

vintages -
2010-4-14, 10:59 am
The time where we can visit lots of exhibitions is over, now the work in the vinyards begins. This
week we want to replant some Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot where we have cleared old Sauvignon Blanc
and Blaufränkisch vines. But currently it has been raining for the last two days and so we have
time to spend on updating our website. You can find information about the new vintages of some of
our white, red and dessert wines now - enjoy! And when the weather gets better again, we will treat
you with some pictures from planting the new vines!

What does PIWI mean? PIWI is an abbreviation for the german word "pilzwiederstandsfähig" which
translates into robust against fungal threats. There is a big interest in such grape cultivars
mainly in organic winegrowing but also in conventional farming the attention is growing.

through the vinotheque, tasting old wines -
2010-1-28, 6:18
pm
In winter when it is really cold, just like now, a wineries cellar is quite a comfy workplace. We
took the opportunity to sort through and organise our vinotheque where we store bottles of the best
wines from past years and decades. After collecting everything we had a small tasting of some of the
old wines. A comparison of two Zweigelt Rebe, one from 2003 and one from 1985! Here is a short
report.
