First grape blossoms

Like every year the first grapes to bloom are from the St. Laurent variety. The picture shows its very first blossoms. Altough not too much to look at, a fully abloom vineyard offers an impressive fragrant smell.

Compared to last year we’re three weeks late. This is mostly due to the cool and wet weather in May. On the other hand we now have sufficient water and warmer conditions. So everything is just right for a quick development. And we are looking forward to a more normal harvest in mid September, which makes us very happy too. And now on to a great Summer!
