The land where grapes wear origami hats! An employee of Maruki Winery puts waxed paper hats on #koshu grapes in a Shimoiwasaki vineyard in the heart of the #koshuvalley, sheltering them from rain.

✏️ Growing grapes has taught me so much about viticulture. Mostly that growing grapes in Ohio’s crazy climate is H A R D. ...but also I understand the process a lot better than I used to. ⠀⠀
This photo shows the “Flowering” phase of the growth cycle. During this phase, the vines self pollinate and transform the little flowers into grape berries! Typically, only about 30% of fruit remain after this phase!
⠀⠀
⛈ Add some harsh weather (like Ohio’s cold, wind, and rain) and the flowering process can be more negatively affected!
⠀⠀
Here’s hoping this wet start to summer didn’t do too much damage to our thriving varietals! We are on year 4 and hoping to get SOME decent fruit this fall! STAY TUNED

« Biodiversity » is a word I start to hear from producers. I wanted to learn more about this topic specifically in Champagne, so I asked Simon of @champagnelaborderie & he kindly shared his practices with reasons behind.
•
No usage of herbicides & insecticides ➡️ to promote floral & faunal diversity
•
Hedge & orchard planting ➡️ to keep « connection » with other ecosystem, to control erosion & to help/support birds, insects, etc.
•
Bird & bat nest boxes ➡️ to provide housing for birds & bats which with their diets help to limit populations of butterflies, leafhoppers, flies that can be harmful to crops
•
Installation of bee hives ➡️ to protect bees that are important pollinators for many plant species
•
Thank you Simon for sharing your knowledge on this curious topic & I am excited for your guest appearance on the final copy of « Biodiversity » page in my book!!!

最近 « Biodiversity » という言葉をシャンパーニュ生産者からよく聞く様になってきて、このトピックについてもっと知りたいと思い、Champagne La Borderie の Simon に聞いてみました。
•
除草剤と殺虫剤の使用中止 ➡️ 花や生物の多様性を促進するため
•
生け垣や果樹園の植え付け➡ 他の生態系との «つながり» を保ったり、侵食を防ぐ、また鳥や虫の行き場所を与えるため
•
鳥とコウモリの巣箱 ➡ 葡萄にとって有害となり得るハエや、害虫の制限するのに頑張ってくれる鳥やコウモリの住む場所を提供するため
•
蜂の巣箱 ➡️ 多くの植物にとって大切な花粉媒介者である蜂を保護するため
•
このトピックについて色々と知識を共有してくれてた Simon は、Champagne Book Project の « Biodiversity » のページにゲスト出演してくれる予定です。

Great wine is made in the vineyard Spring is an exciting time bc vines are now awake from their winter nap & buds are breaking! As temps rise and the sun lingers a little longer each day, vines begin to burst with green shoots ☀️. During our visit with @paradigmwinery a couple weeks ago we saw fruit clusters on the vine already! Some say early grape growth in the spring could be a signal of an early harvest ...only time & climate will tell.
Each season is pivotal and will have an effect on this year’s vintage. Is there a season you find exceptionally interesting?
