2023 Helló Zsiráf

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 ralaxing way to create beautiful images by drawing structure patterns.

The tall and proud giraffe is chosen to illustrate our best wine from the 2023 vintage, which then gets our rare peak plus grade.

Weather

In September there was a long period of good waether, suitable for harvest, but at that time the grapes was not ripe enough. There came a big rainfall in end of septembre, 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 completa the harvest.
