“Schern”

„Schern“
…this is the Austrian word for »hacken«, which is the German word for ‘hoeing’ – which, either way, is one of the most strenuous tasks in the vineyard.
But it is absolutely essential with young vines, in order to avoid having too much competition for water and nutrients.
On the hillside, we also make a point of creating a little depression around the vine, so that the rainwater can seep into the ground.
And speaking of rain, last week we received fifty-one litres per square metre – a blessing for nature.
