Summer is in full swing in Alsace! It is a beautiful and lively season to visit our vineyards in Dambach-la-Ville. Between the early work in the vines, the first grapes changing color, and some great news for our picturesque village, there is a lot to share at Domaine Schaeffer-Woerly. Discover our latest news and come visit us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work at Dawn: Between the Moon and Sunrise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
During this summer period, which has been marked by a certain drought, we adapt our rhythm to nature. To avoid the intense heat, our work often begins very early in the morning. It is a magical moment: sometimes we are still accompanied by the moonlight before being rewarded with a breathtaking sunrise over the Alsace plain. These quiet morning hours are ideal for taking optimal care of our vines.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEarly morning work in the vineyards, between moonlight and a beautiful Alsace sunrise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The “V\u00e9raison” Begins for Our Pinot Gris<\/h2>\n\n\n\nGreen Pinot Gris bunches developing on the vine during summer at Domaine Schaeffer-Woerly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Have you heard of “v\u00e9raison” (the onset of ripening)? This is the moment in summer when the berries start to soften and change color. If you look closely at our beautiful, still-green Pinot Gris bunches, you can spot the very first berries turning color! Although the summer has been very dry so far, the few longed-for drops of rain this week have done our soils and grapes a lot of good, allowing them to continue ripening peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe very first berry starting to change color! Veraison has officially begun on our Pinot Gris vines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Dambach-la-Ville: 2nd Place in “France’s Favorite Village”!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We have every reason to celebrate! Our beautiful Dambach-la-Ville took a fantastic 2nd place in the national competition “Le Village Pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 des Fran\u00e7ais” (France’s Favorite Village)! When you let your gaze wander over our vines in the foreground and see the historic roofs of the village in the background, you will immediately understand why. As winemakers, this award fills us with great pride and highlights the charm of our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA beautiful summer view over our vines looking toward the village of Dambach-la-Ville.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
