Ripeness

Wasps and other sorts of insects love red grapes, especially ours as we leave them longer on the vines and that, filled with sugar, are so attractive to these gourmands (along with wild boars and badgers).
This year, I believe that we’re experiencing a small miracle: the botrytis cinerea - which is always bad for our red grapes, seems to be the "noble" sort of the great Sauternes and whenever I taste one of these seeds, I find it delicious, I hope that it lasts.
