New plots planted!
Having taken advantage of the humidity and the freshness of mid-spring to plant new grape varieties, historically present in the terroirs of the South Ardèche. You will be able to find them in the little white selve!
This is the Grenache Gray buthas Also summer planted Clairette Rose.
This first grape variety is known to be resistant to wind and dryness while giving very juicy grapes to thick skin. The Clairette Rose is appreciated as a table grape because her grapes are tasted and fragrant. It is also a very resistant to drought grape.After the size of winter, and have formed and attached the new arms of Seps, return to the vine for the spaming (remove the superfluous stems which will not give more airy vine and a more balanced harvest, they leave two per head, which is 5 to 6 heads per CEP!).
