Linden Update | August 2017

Terroir Project

The seemingly undistinguished ridge behind the winery is starting its metamorphosis into a vineyard. In July the soil was very dry. Conditions were perfect for a deep ripping of the soil. The tractor pulls a long shank (see photo) to a depth of about 18 inches. This breaks up the soil and rocks (of which there are many) so that when we plant next spring the young vine roots will easily find passage deep into the subsoil.
