Tips from France and Weather Challenges
Dry, drier, desert followed by mist, rain and torrential storm is how I would describe July and August. Not ideal vineyard conditions, but the the French-made vines at Kapitel Zwei Wine seem to be doing just fine.
200 Vines Planted and New Labels
200 vines arrived from France, including 100 Chenin Blanc, 50 Roussanne and 50 Sémillon. I would also like to give you a sneak preview of the new label designs. One little piece of the design is still missing as I wait for the art to be finished, but as we know in agile thinking, better to get feedback during the design process than only at the end.
Aches and Pains
It’s been a harrowing few weeks for us at Kapitel Zwei Wine as we prepare the vineyard for planting — today the vines were shipped from France to Austria 🎉. They were suppose to arrive last week but I delay the shipment a few times due to cold weather. If you can believe it, we had a few centimetres of snow earlier this month, followed by a dry period.
