Leaf Day

In the Vineyard

Applications of herbal teas, nettle and comfrey purines are carried out at the time of these leaf influences, as well as all stimulations of the plant's sap flow.

In the Cellar

This influence is preferred for our pumping over operations in fermentation phases.

In Tasting

Leaf days rather reinforce the watery, vegetal and bitter side, so it is not recommended.

On the astronomical level

Flower Day

In the Vineyard

Horn silica applications are made at the time of these fruit influences. The size of our icon plots is also made in these influences.

In the Cellar

This influence is preferred for all our blending and bottling tastings. It is also chosen for the racking of our closed wines because it helps them open up more.

Fruit days are particularly conducive to tasting. They allow the wines to open up and express their qualities.

Our applications of horn manure and Maria Thun manure compost are carried out at the time of these root influences, as well as all microbiological stimulations of our soils. The pruning of our icon plots is also carried out in these influences.

In the Cellar

This influence is chosen for the racking of our particularly open wines because it will help them to tighten up and refocus.
