Harvest in Languedoc

Coaxed gently from vines -
For a pressing appointment -
To release Sunshine -
Picking Grapes in Montblanc
The Montblanc Winery
The arrival of the grapes
A cloudy day, Perhaps all the sun is in the grapes – waiting now for the bottles on shelves.

Sunshine harvesters -
Turn Gold into Languedoc wine -
The Days are shorter -
We hear the grape harvesting machines and the presses from the local winery start at 4 in the morning. A gently thrum while we dream. Soon we can release the captured sunshine from the bottles and make winter dissolve.
Grasp the Morning Sun

The end of August -
Sun in my eyes as I drive-
I smell the harvest -
Driving Mimi to the station in the early morning, the sun is lower now and the warm fields plush with grapes are a heady perfume
The Harvest Starts in Languedoc

Start of the harvest-
Machines pick most of the grapes-
But some hide for us
All around us are vineyards, for the next few weeks the harvesting will start very early, before daylight and grapes brough to the wineries.
stay with us in Villa Roquette and see the wine develop, stay long enough and you can taste the ‘paradis’ and soon the new wines.

Longing to escape -
My balloon tugs at the wind -
But it talks in squeaks -
