Comments on: Broadcasting Baroque to the vines at DeMorgenzon http://www.drvino.com/2012/09/27/broadcasting-baroque-vineyard-demorgenzon/ wine talk that goes down easy Mon, 20 May 2013 10:11:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: boyce http://www.drvino.com/2012/09/27/broadcasting-baroque-vineyard-demorgenzon/#comment-396873 boyce Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:45:19 +0000 http://www.drvino.com/?p=11445#comment-396873 Bodega Langes, a north China winery backed by Austrian crystal guy Gernot Langes-Swarovski, has also been playing classical music to the vines for years. Unfortunately, any benefits seem to be offset — at least based on the BL wines I’ve tasted — by using local oak.

Also of note, DeMorgenzon’s winemaker — Carl van der Merwe — is in northwest China at the moment making wine.

Cheers, Boyce

I just love the idea of serenading vines. I have heard that anecdotal evidence exists for tomatoes responding to jazz, but I’ve never heard of grapes that love Baroque music! Is there any scientific basis for music impacting plant growth or is it all anecdotal? I talk to my cactus, but I’m not sure that counts. I imagine that strolling through those vineyards is even nicer thanks to the calming music, and I look forward to trying the music-treated wines.

I guess it’s the same theory as talking to your plants – show them some love and they’ll show you some love back! :)
