Spring frost

We woke to a beautiful blue sky this morning. We had been checking the overnight temperatures, so we could monitor the temperatures in the cave. Every little bit of work Brian is doing in there is making a difference.

We wanted to pop out to pick up some bread and cold meats from the butchers, as we had some friends coming for a light lunch. The air was brisk, and very still, the sky was clear of clouds and a bright crisp blue. There was plenty of activity in the vineyards as the -3°C temperatures experienced overnight meant that the vignerons were up and about very early caring for their vines.

These spring frosts bring such a magical fairyland feel to the vineyards.

The water sprayers were still sweeping over the vineyards, cascading over an icy landscape. It’s like watching a ballet, with the dancers flitting from one side to the other.

The views are simply spectacular.
