		<description><![CDATA[by Katrin Haller, German intern at Delheim My two days spent harvesting in the Delheim vineyards. It all started with a romantic picture in my head about working in the vineyards. Idyllic scenery, hard physical work outside while letting your thoughts go, and even being part of a great product in the end. When I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following a disastrous 2010 season with hardly any grapes, 2011 is looking a great deal more promising.  Most varietals are bearing well, and, barring a hurricane or severe hail, we can expect an average to large crop.   The weather has been mostly cool, with good rains in early December.  The vines are looking very healthy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Delheim’s harvest is now almost over, with only the Rhine Riesling still on the vine, waiting for the necessary Botrytis to develop to make the Edelspatz Noble Late Harvest. Initially, the ample winter cold and rain necessary for a great 2010 harvest augured well for Delheim.  Unfortunately, this optimism was not destined to last, as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been a while since we went &#8220;back to the vine&#8221; and our little bunch of Riesling is doing well. The Botrytis fungus is doing its job diluting the grapes to get that sugar level to spike. To the naked eye it actually seems as if little raisins are forming, and technically they are, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you can see, our little Riesling bunch has changed a lot over the last few weeks. Harvest season has already started, but the Riesling grapes will stay on the vines for another few weeks. We harvest the grapes at a very high sugar level and for this reason we leave them on the vines to reach [...]]]></description>
