Back to nature! Nurture the vine and make wine the traditional way. Back to humanity too, simply by getting closer to nature and listening for the clues Mother Nature gives us, thus undoing the havoc wreaked upon nature by a century’s industrial unconsciousness. A fulfilling task, surrounded by nature and her gifts; in the intense summer heat or in the clear September light.
Vine-blossom and its winter repose. The vine forces us to follow cycles that are measured in decades, punctuated by unannounced, almost imperceptible signs from the plant that tell us the vine's personality and temperament. The vine itself teaches us not only ancient ways to grow our food, but it also influences our way of looking at things by making us look for the very essence of what's around us. |
