JULY 2022

Everyone is talking about sustainability. In our work in the vineyard and cellar, we also focus on natural, resource-saving cultivation. One important contribution is summer planting. At the beginning of March, we sowed a special seed mixture of 48 flowering plants in our vineyards, which are now flourishing wonderfully as temperatures rise. The plant diversity attracts numerous beneficial insects, which protect our grapes from pest infestation. In addition, the vegetation improves the soil structure and promotes the build-up of humus.
Summer planting also brings another advantage. Special soil bacteria in the root zone of various legumes such as pea and clover bind nitrogen from the air. Targeted plowing can thus cover the high nitrogen requirements of the vines, for example, before flowering. With simple and, above all, natural means, high-quality grapes are created, which provide the best material for our fabulous wines.
