Description
Want to pick some grappes !?
Hey everyone!
Come join the group !
Originally from Belgium, after a few years of travel going through different wine region and farms, i decided to put my luggage down in the south west of France and took over a beautifull vineyard in the Bordeaux countryside. 9ha grown organicaly since 1993, amazing terroir ! We're know moving torwards a ninth vintage. Big challenge ! We'll be trying as much as we can to put biodynamy in practice and we're also bringing our horse in the vine. Always working in group i love enthusiastic, curious people to share work, experience and good wines !
Lots of help needed to take care of plants, trees, wines,... and a great vibe in the sunny south west !
Hope to cross your way in the vine soon !
