Grape Harvest 2023
Grape harvesting is one of the most important events in wine regions.
Here in southern France, I feel a certain excitement in the air before it starts.
The buckets and containers are thoroughly cleaned, the secateurs sharpened, the tractors and trailers are ready.
« The Grape Decides! »
The big question is: what’s the right moment to harvest the grapes?
There’s many factors but very important is the sugars- acids proportion.
We use a portable refractometer that measures the sugar content of the grapes.
For 2023 it should have a minimum of 14%.
It’s tricky because as soon as it rains the % decreases and all activities will be postponed.
« It’s done, let’s party! »
We managed to deliver beautiful, healthy Grenache grapes to the Cooperative Maîtres Vignerons de Cascastel des Corbières.
You can enjoy our excellent AOP Corbières and AOP Fitou wines everywhere in Europe and even in the US!
SANTÉ!
