Root, fruit, flower and leaf day
Posted by Naturalist in Natural Wines on April 18th, 2009
The biodynamic practise require the operations on the vineyard to be conducted according to the lunar phases. But there is also a growing debate on whether the lunar days affect the way biodynamic wines express themselves in the glass.
So we are going to conduct a little experiment with a biodynamic wine form Provence - MA TERRE Henri Milan Provence France 2006, a blend of Grenache and Syrah.
DAY ONE (18th of April 2009, 1 pm)
Root day, Lunar phase - Last Quater
The wine is showing rather earthy and dusty. Tannins seem to have tighten the grip too. Acidity seems higher. Tried it with some bread and it does seem to get overwhelmed, not unpleasant but definately lacking some vibrancy. Will try it again later on today
