In the spring, all you see at first are tiny buds.
Unspectacular. Almost inconspicuous.
A few weeks later, the vines are full of leaves.
In the fall, heavy clusters of grapes hang from the vines.
A vine sponsorship means:
You accompany the vine on this very journey.
Many people drink wine. Some want to know where it’s grown.
A grapevine will be registered in your name.
It grows in the Salgesch vineyard.
There, where sun, wind, and stone shape the character of the wine.
At the end of the year, it will be turned into a personalized bottle of Humagne Rouge.
With your name on it.
The first buds are opening.
In the morning, dew lies on the young leaves.
The grapes are growing slowly.
You can hear bees buzzing among the vines.
The harvest begins early in the morning.
Grapes are harvested by hand.
The cellar grows quiet.
The wine is aging in the barrel.
Once a year, we meet among the vines.
We walk through the vineyard together.
We look at the vines.
We taste the new vintage.
They’re simple gatherings.
With conversations among the vines.
Many sponsors have been with us for years.
We know each other well.
We talk about the weather, vintages, and sometimes even completely different things.
Over time, a single vine becomes something else:
A connection.
The Cave du Rhodan vineyard has many vines.
But each one has its own story.
Perhaps yours begins here.
