But its a vineyard cottage we call the castle of tuscany because it looks tuscan you toscana. Thoughts on that so we have a touch of italy on our left exactly. Im enjoying this canoe right its definitely one for nature lovers but the middle ages have also left their mark on this region so there is plenty to discover. The southernmost tip of saxony on holiday is known as the land of consuls. There are about thirty consuls and palaces many good. Dollars and years old. As fortresses they provided protection the fence later they were remodeled as palaces. Even knew how to recycle back then.

But monks did more than just build abbies and churches along the zala and on stuart they also laid out the first terraces and planted vineyards honesty forever bags of flowers and years ago. Nowadays the wine growing regional mazhar and is the northernmost in germany small but excellent and when the sun is shining you can understand why the region is called the tuscany of the north.

The hills around five book a steep winemaker bound up obviously takes me with him up shreiking 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. And 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 didnt come here to sheen you dont go i guess the ones that are hanging out have to be stuck between the wires could be destabilised and i think at swindon that because the old myself am i doing it right. Yes in the south the sun is more intense so the lead somewhere crowded and then you shoot results hour long. 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 per square metre its warm in the south but here in the north you need steep slopes not as many grapes grow here but theyre very aromatic. In how does your wine compare 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.
