After checking nitrogen levels in our soil we sow seeds in alternating rows to naturally enhance the nutrients in our soil.
Our vineyard is planted with wild flowers and green manures which provide a welcoming home for insects, birds and animals.
We use agrobiological techniques which respect the natural cycle of the vines. We dynamise and manually spray green manures, concoctions and preparations to naturally improve and revitilise our whole terroir.
Ben has fabricated his own soft soil farming equipment to work the soil naturally.
You'll often see Ben out manually spraying remedies in the early hours of the morning.
We study the roots systems of our
vines ensuring both the main and smaller capillary roots are healthy and strong. The vines need both to thrive
Ben believes PUSSARD pruning was one of the most beneficial changes we made to restore our vines. Now-a-days he uses a blend of PUSSARD and DOUBLE GUYOT pruning. Each vine is pruned by Ben depending on the individual vine and canes.. We do not have a team of workers in for this task.
Nous sommes un vignoble familial, de la vigne au vin, nous accomplissons chaque tâche nous-mêmes.
Notre vin est élaboré avec amour et passion et soigné avec les meilleurs soins possibles pour un vignoble!
La plupart des tâches sont effectuées principalement à la main. Nous nous concentrons sur la qualité et non sur la quantité. Ce soin et cette attention aux détails transparaissent dans notre vin
