THE PRIMARY GRAPE

 

With our P.N we opted for a method of cultivation that enables the minerals in the soil to benefit the stems best.

We do not turn the soil.

The various grasses and wild herbs that appear provide a haven for useful insects.

We have also chosen a few host plants to limit  the presence of natural pests.

A biological cultivation of the vines strengthens natural resistance and promotes a good circulation in the rhizosphere of the roots.

The active organic processes in the soil reinforce the plant and render it less

vulnerable to familiar diseases such as mildew.

We have chosen a landscape layout for our garden in which the vineyard plays

its part alongside the rowan, rose, mulberry, hazel and hornbeam in an ecological whole.

With our P.N we prefer a small production.

At a time when everything is supposed to be bigger and bigger, 

more and more, we want an optimal wine

that can receive all the attention it deserves

in the vineyard and in the bottling.

The P.N is bottled poetry with a light colored brownish red and nearly white

where the wine meets the glass.

We want a low alcohol percentage for the palate to  open up the subtility of all

the precious flavors it contains.

You have to taste it to feel it.
