| An old
vine, planted in the 60s |
A
typical rock from the soil, split in two |
Another
old vine |
The soil
is similar to Chateauneuf-du-Pape with big 'galet' stones |
When
this parcel was planted it was thought convenient to cover the soil with
a plastic sheet to stop weed growing around the vines. They regret that
now when it is time to replant (and therefore have to remove the
plastic). Not to mention that it is ugly... |
