Ran across this little fellow in one of our vineyards earlier today. Revisited the site with a better camera and found the young owl again. #owl #birdlife #photography

Ideal pairing for eating rich people.

Today we finished bringing out the biological deterrants against the vine moth. All growers in Rust are doing this since more than 20 years so we aren‘t reliant on any insecticides for our grape production! #organic #viticulture #winemaking

Spot the difference - or the thing that makes us different.We produce most of our marketing material in house. These are now our hip stickers and glass coasters designed after the idea of the "spot it!" game. Small edition. #dontpanicitsorganic

Sticker reading: Don't panic! It's organic

“Paywalls create a two-tiered system: credible, fact-based information for people who are willing to pay for it, and murkier, less-reliable information for everyone else. Simply put, paywalls get in the way of informing the public, which is the mission of journalism.”

Wow, destemming by hand. Was thinking about that some time ago but as we have the machinery we destem mechanically. Do you see any benefits?

Difficult to say. While you safe some time in winter pruning - the suckering and foilage work is a bit excessive. The vines seem to have better balanced growth. Yields are less than cane pruning but thats with intent.

When i started working in our winery 2009
it wasn’t very common. It’s been gaining a bit more popularity over the past decade.

Oh - actually we never thought about that. But because of spring frost damage last year we pruned one block with longer spurs. These will be trimmed once the danger of frost is gone. Curious how this will delay harvest in the long run. Btw:
Our average wine age is older than 25
years now.
