Labels
The theme for 2023 is various animals,
illustrated by Zentangle art, made by Birgitta Lindqvist-Gatti and Gunnel Sandahl.
The Zentangle method is a relaxing way to create beautiful images by drawing structure patterns.
A butterfly is a beautiful and mid range animal, representing not complex,
but not simple either.
From 2023 we have changed our back labels, mostly to comply with new European Community rules. To be further aligned with wine rules, we also have changed the back label to the Hungary language.
Weather
In September there was a long period of good weather, suitable for harvest,
but at that time the grapes was not ripe enough.
There came a big rainfall in end of September, which didn't damage our grapes,
but we could not wait too long further on, because the rot were approaching.
Typically at that time, the weather reports begun to forecast a lot of rain,
but before that we were given a half week to complete the harvest.
