2018 was an excellent vintage. The year kicked of complicated and we had to be alert as spring and early summer had several spells of rain. But the beautiful summer and early autumn gave a wonderful grape.
Pruning Poussard-Guyot double. 8-12 bunches of grapes per vine. Mechanical de-weeding, winter cereals and minimal intervention in the soil works. Soil clay-limestone, no oak, sustainable agriculture. 4.850 vines per hectare
Very little intervention was eventually needed. 30 days maceration, indigenous yeast. A nice wine which will get better over time. Sulphite levels <45gr/hl

The Labels
The best Recipe
The 2018 series of labels started from the desire to put forward a part of the philosophy or worldview that affects the practice of agriculture to improve and amplify good practices.
From civilizations to civilizations, the peasants and the great masters of biodynamics practice agriculture and activity according to the lunar cycle.
The 2018 labels are an ode to nature and the moon.
On each label one of the moons has a silver gilt. You may or may not have one or two full moons in a wooden case of six bottles.
