Last week we experienced the biggest downfall of snow in 25 years ! 40cm of snow fell last Friday and a week later, patches still remain. Needless to say that we had to interrupt all our activities mainly the pruning for the whole week.
Snow is actually beneficial for the vineyard as when it melts it penetrates slowly into the soil and helps break it up. Furthermore with the cold temperatures as low as -11°C all parasites were destroyed. Today the sunshine is back and the forecast is for warmer temperatures in the next few days.
