Being a wine producer
Is not just pick up grapes, pruning, work with the tractor, spraying tisanes, preparations, sulphur and copper, treading the grapes, open holes, planting and grafting... it's not just being working in the land, in the vines, seeing sheeps and listening the birds, it's also to travel a lot, to be in wine tastings and tell a story - our own story.
To travel is one of the best parts of this job. In 2010, because of the wines, I've been in China (Hong-Kong and Macau), Denmark, France, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Bélgium... There's some photos of my travel in China, where I spent 8 worderful days...
The sheeps and the vineyards / As ovelhas e as vinhas
Uma vinha biodinâmica que se preze tem de ter animais. Como não temos animais, pedimos aos vizinhos para virem com os seus rebanhos para as nossas vinhas. É uma boa troca - as ovelhas podem comer toda a erva que lhes apetecer e, em troca, deixam o seu rasto no solo.
Without animals, a vineyard is not 100% biodynamic. Since we have no animals, we asked our neighbors to come with their flocks. It's a good exchange - the sheeps can eat all the grass they want and, in turn, leave their tracks in the soil's vineyard.
Dias de chuva
Hoje apetece-me escrever em português. Não pára de chover faz 3 dias, sempre cinzento, sempre vento, sempre cheiro a terra e húmus. O trabalho não pára, mesmo com a água a cair sobre nós, mesmo com o frio no corpo molhado...
Abrem-se buracos para plantar novas plantas, com as ovelhas e a chuva por companhia.
