Do they use compost on the vineyard?
Sigh...I will have to wait until May in California to see Cabernet sauvignon flowering again.
The different hemispheres are wonderful :)
Hi Jamie,
It was a pleasure meeting with you yesterday. I trust that the rest of your tasting went well.
Jealous!
Which Columellae did you try?
looking forward for notes on Eben Sadie's wines
this particular compost is made into a tea which acts as a microbial inoculum when sprayed in the vineyard
chris - nice to meet you
alex - the 2007 - massive wine, almost a bit un-Eben, but lovely
The vine planting density looks very low for the Carignan and Mourvedre. Are they old vines or is this normal. Great pics....at least the sun shone for a short while!
