A very hot and dry summer

Watering our baby vines with Love

Dear Friends,

I have not posted for a long time so here are some news coming from our good friend Robert Camuto who went at Mas des Brun to experience drought during a summer day at our vineyard

It has been very dry here and we are still waiting for a decent rain after almost 6 months of drought. Our baby vines have suffered and actually many have not survived but we managed to cross that very critical period.

Beautiful Mourvèdre cluster

We also made a little batch of "officially non official" rose from our second leaf vines and I experienced doing the malolactic fermentation by harvesting very early (August 19th) as to still have some natural total acidity when malolactic fermentation is done.

 

2015 "officially non official" Mas des Brun rose at 11.7 alcohol with high acidity

Time now to prepare new lands for 2016 plantation. We have almost 1 acres of vines to put on the ground and, as you can see, we really need to find some space!

Opening some space for future vineyards

Cheers,

Jean-Marc

Aloha Jean-Marc ... Congratulations on making it through this very hot year (we also experienced record breaking heat in Kauai). Also congratulations on obtaining good acid in your Rose .. that should work beautifully with a good plate of food! Wishing you future success. Au revoir, Bill Facker
