A day in the vineyard


vineyard in Istria Croatia


Went to visit a friend's vineyard in Istria, Croatia where Bio-dynamic farming method is being used.

Nice to see healthy vines growing among weeds. The owner uses sheep to keep weeds in control, and herb infusions to nourish the vines. Needless to say his wines tasted extremely good, a reflection of his technique.

The underground cellar is pleasantly cool in a hot sunny day. 



Treated to a simple lunch of fried fish and squid with polenta.
