HARVEST: Two weeks after the green harvesting the Merlot is showing
fantastic progress. Veraison is complete and now the grape bunches can start
to have colour, tannin and flavour maturation.
18/08/10 -- VERAISON: The grapes are changing colour, finally after a
cool summer!
10/08/10 -- GREEN HARVESTING AT LE MICCINE: Removing green grape bunches
help to reduce yields and to improve grape bunch ripening. The remaining
grape bunches will become more concentrated in sugars, flavours and colour.
The resulting wines will have more structure and body.
