In the vineyard…

Until mid-April, the tying of the shoots continues; this task is completed on the 13th of the month.

With dry and windy weather, budbreak is more or less rapid, helped by the cool night-time temperatures.

Debudding begins on 20 April and three or four leaves can frequently be seen.

The bunches are already clearly visible.

With this weather, it is now possible to consider working the soil again (mechanical and horse-drawn scarification).

 

In the cellar…

At the same time, the first shipments are being prepared with the preparation of orders for the 2024 vintage.
