Harvest 2008

'); document.writeln('

 

'); document.writeln('

The quality of the grapes was excellent. '); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('

The season started badly with lots of rain in april/mai '); document.writeln('which caused mildou,a bad disease which meant loss of quantity this year. '); document.writeln('

'); document.writeln('

The quality of the grapes was very good because of the '); document.writeln('nice sunny weather during summer and rain at the right '); document.writeln('times.

'); document.writeln('

 

'); document.writeln('

The harvest went very well, as well as  the wine making process. The French wine '); document.writeln('expert oenologue Gilles Baude assisted us and made  regularly analyses of the '); document.writeln('wines.

'); document.writeln('

We made the following variety wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, '); document.writeln('Grenache , Mourvèdre /Syrah, Cinsault/Syrah, Pinot Noir  and the white Vermentino and Ugni '); document.writeln('Blanc.

'); document.writeln('

The '); document.writeln('fresh rosé wine is made of mainly Cinsault with a bit of '); document.writeln('Grenache and Syrah.

'); document.writeln('

We shall assemblage the red wines in '); document.writeln('January.
