  • Managing Multiflora Rose
    Factsheet Vegetation Management Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) Department of Horticulture Technical Assistance Series College of Agricultural Sciences 2 http://vm.cas.psu.edu Managing Multiflora Rose Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) is an invasive shrub that can develop into impenetrable, thorny thickets. It has the distinction of being among the first plants to be named to Pennsylvania’s Noxious Weed List. This plant was introduced from Asia and widely promoted as a ‘living fence’ to provide erosion control and as a food and cover source for wildlife. Multiflora rose does provide cover and some food value with its fleshy fruit (called 'hips'), but its overall effect on habitat value is negative. Multiflora rose is very aggressive, and crowds planted grasses, forbs, and trees established on CREP acres to enhance wildlife habitat. Telling Bad Rose from Good There are least 13 species of rose that that grow 'wild' in Pennsylvania, and most of them are desirable in a wildlife habitat planting. Multiflora rose is readily distinguished from other roses by two features - its white-to-pinkish, five-petaled flowers occur in branched clusters, and the base of the leaf where it attaches to the thorny stem is fringed (Figure 1). Gary Fewless, Univ. of Wisc., Green Bay Memorial rose (Rosa wichuraiana) is the only other species Figure 2. Multiflora rose in whole-plant view, with its mounded with a fringed leaf base, but its flowers are borne singly. form from arching stems, and cascades of showy, white-to- pinkish blooms. Individual plants can easily grow to more than 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide.

  • 250 Years Since the First Rosé Champagne
    250 years since the first rosé champagne Ruinart, the first established Champagne House, founded in 1729, has been shipping rosé champagne since 1764. The House’s account book is the proof. On 14 March 1764, it is written that there was a shipment of «a basket of 120 bottles, 60 bottles of which were Oeil de Perdrix». What is the connection between birds of the Gallinaceae family and the early history of the oldest Champagne House? In fact, the term «Oeil de Perdrix» means a colour which could be described as a delicate pink with coppery reflections. There’s no longer any doubt. Ruinart shipped its first bottles of rosé champagne in 1764. 250 years : such a fabulous anniversary in so many ways, an historic date which links Ruinart forever to the history of champagne. The account books, various correspondence and the accounts of the heads of the House have allowed us to discover a multitude of varieties and oenological trials in search of taste, flavour and the ideal colour. What was in all probability a rosé from maceration at the beginning would then evolve to become a blended rosé. Ruinart explored various ways of obtaining a coloured champagne, for example by using the colouring of some elderberries. The palette of colours for these wines was very large. There were a number of terms to define them in French: roset, oeil de perdrix, rozet, paillé (straw), clairet (pale wine) and even cerise (cherry). Towards the end of the 18th century, the expression «Oeil de Perdrix» disappeared in favour of names closer to those we use: rozet and then rosé.

  • Gewürztraminer 2017
    2017 Gewürztraminer Estate Grown and Bottled Ravines Gewürztraminer delights with complex aromas of rose petal and lychee with a bright acidity and a spicy finish. Vinification The grapes were harvested early in the day and rapidly de-stemmed, crushed and placed in the membrane press. In order to extract the wonderful aromas of the Gewurztraminer variety, the grapes were given a long skin contact time at low temperature. After a long and gentle press cycle, the juice was settled, racked and fermented at low temperature. With excellent ripeness level, we chose to leave a little residual sugar in order to have a more moderate alcohol level and a more balanced wine. The wine was racked and aged in stainless steel prior to filtration and bottling. Appellation: Fingerlakes AVA, New York Varietal Composition: 100% Gewürztraminer Alcohol: 13% Acidity: 7.5 g/l RS: 9 g/l pH: 3.42 Vineyards White Springs Vineyard (100%) The entire production of Gewürztraminer is estate grown in our White Springs Vineyard, just south of Ge- neva. The soil is Honeoye Loam over limestone, as the vineyard is located in the northern part of the Finger Lakes and the continuation of the Niagara Escarpment Extension. Having already worked with this vineyard for many years, we have always found Gewürztraminer to be one of the best suited grape varieties for this site. The vineyard was planted with a very high planting density allowing us to crop each vine very modestly. A warm and sunny growing season resulted in optimal ripeness level and thanks to the vigilance and skills of the vineyard team, grapes were harvested under optimal conditions.
