🍇 Ever heard of waking up grapes? At the foothills of the majestic Helan Mountains, farmers are doing just that! As the sun returns and days grow longer, it's time for a unique springtime ritual.
The Springtime Call
They say wine is sunshine in a bottle, and perhaps that's why these dedicated farmers take special care to wake their grapes from their winter slumber. It's a tradition that requires both expertise and timing.
Timing is Everything ⏰
Knowing the perfect moment to rouse the grapes isn't easy. It takes judgment and experience to ensure the vines are ready to produce ripe, juicy grapes come autumn. Wake them too early or too late, and the harvest could be affected.
A Rare Practice
This practice is something few grape growers do anywhere else on the planet! It's a testament to the unique viticulture of the Helan Mountains region and the dedication of its farmers.
As we sip on our favorite wines, let's raise a glass to these farmers who put their heart and soul into every bottle. Cheers! 🥂
