The Tension Rises

Dear grapelovers,

Due to the warm days at the start of the month, our vines have already started to show their buds. The tiny buds are now at a very vulnerable stage and cannot handle any frost. So far they have been able to withstand the cold nights, but we have a couple more coming this week and the situation could get critical.

I am now fully enjoying the work outside. We had some winds high above last week that made the clouds shoot across the sky at great speed. This created beautiful play of light and shadow on the ground, which the photo above doesn't quite do proper justice. The sunlight that shines between the clouds cascades down the valley at great speed. Somehow this made an old island-inhabitant think of his old home.

This coming weekend we will have a tasting in the cellar in Rüfenach. We have a couple of new wines to share with you and will in addition offer a vertical tasting of Ciliegio from 2015 to 2021. I am looking forward to seeing you there.

Saturday, April 27th - 12 noon until 7pm

Sunday, April 28th - 12 noon until 5pm

All the best, Hoss
