Happy New Year to everybody. After a very mild end to 2015 we finally have some proper winter weather and even a light covering of snow this morning. The cold weather is very welcome as it will help decrease the populations of troublesome insects and diseases later in the season. It also gives the vines a proper rest period.
In the winery all of the wines have now finished their malolactic fermentations. Next week we will be bottling our 2014 “Terra Firma” red as well as our 2015 Rosé “Carpe Diem” and also a new wine from the 2015 vintage – “Carpe Vinum”. “Carpe Vinum” is a light fruity early drinking style red which will be perfect for drinking a little chilled next summer. Looking forward to it already!
It is wonderful to read all you wrote about your wines. We (my husband and me Aat and Riet) got your address from a friend of ours who visited you already. As we will stay in Vinsobres in September next we will sure visit you when it is permitted. I would love to taste your wines.
We hope to see you in September next.
Thank you! We look forward to seeing you in September. Maybe you will be here at harvest time.
