Unfortunately i dont have time for a visit today and the climb up there looks really exhausting. Our viewer david will only have to climb some stairs too because hes been to the small island of Skellig Michael in ireland and its pretty steep over there well take a look for yourself and enjoy davids vimeo. The hills around five a steep winemaker bound up obviously takes me with him up schweigen back here right now the vines are growing ten centimeters a day and have to be tied up sounds easy if only i didnt have to stand on this steep slope. You may have to go in here could i get a hold of the ball. But i first i need a firm grip. When youre bored so i just i didnt come here she dont go i guess the ones that are hanging out have to be stuck between the wires could be destabilized and i think at swindon. Myself am i doing it right. Yes in the south the sun is more intense so the leaves of the crowded and the new shoots on so long. Are your special shoes i keep sliding down. It just takes getting used to. There are no machines everythings done by hand respect. Why does a vineyard have to be so steep you know your style is the steeper it is the more sun it gets pushed. Its warm in the south but here in the north slope not as many grapes grow here but theyre very aromatic. In the cold as your wine compared to an italian wine. Its no better or worse just different this is a cool wine region so the alcohol content is lower that makes the wine palatable and the acidity more refreshing and in the south its crisp and goes well with food especially now in spring on your balcony or in the garden in the. Southern regions the wine contains more alcohol and has less acidity so its less refreshing. Luckily we all swear by our own wine diversity is what makes it interesting.

And ultimately im doing what interests me and i contribute that to the estate so theres never been a problem of language that im putting on to speaking up so you. Know one thing you contribute as the generation. You know event formats in two thousand and nine i formed an association called wind rock.
