Planting wooden posts to attach our baby wines planted last year. Some are already very productive but it is necesary to eliminate the fruits in order to let the baby vines use its energy on developing wood and roots.

Dear wine lovers,

With the vines growing like crazy, our wines to sell, all the administration in this tax period season and all what's coming next, I have to acknowledged you that I feel quite overwhelmed.

Just to give you an example, last week, my brother and I have planted 2 000 wooden posts to attach our baby vines that the wind could damage. While doing this, we have pulled out by hand weeds that are in between those babies (in order to both give them food with weeds' decomposition and prevent that those weeds take too much humidity from the soil which could kill the baby vine) and eliminated the fruits coming from those young vines [..]
