Mustaliuske- ja metakarbonaattisivukivien sinkin, kuparin ja nikkelin pitoisuudet ylittävät saastuneen maan arviointiin suositetut SAMASE toimenpideraja-arvot (taulukko 1). Arseenin ja vanadiinin keskiarvopitoisuus ylittää SAMASE toimenpideraja-arvon vain mustaliuskesivukiven osalta. | Translation - English

Tegelikult Quinta dos Cozinheiros’es me usume, et masin, kuigi see võib olla vajalik mõningate tööde jaoks, ei ole veel võimeline valima parimaid oksi, kõrvaldama kasutuid võrseid, eraldama tooreid viinamarju küpsetest, põhimõtteliselt ei ole valmis optimeerima lõikuse kvaliteeti ja tervust.
Seepärast me näeme vaeva hoidmaks inimese ratsionaalsust juhtivates töödes, meeste teadmisi ja jõudu kasvatamaks ja paremaks tegemaks veini, naiste hoolivust ja pehmust valimaks parimaid vilju, sest me usume, et just selles viinamarjaistanduses hakkame me tegema parimat veini. | Translation - English
Indeed, in Quinta dos Cozinheiros we believe, that a machine, although useful for certain tasks, is not yet capable of selecting the best boughs, removing the useless shoots, or separating the unripe grapes from the ripe; in principle is not capable of optimising the harvesting quality and the cutting.
Therefore, we take pain to preserve the human rationality in the leading tasks, the knowledge and strength of men for growing and improving the wine, the care and gentleness of women for selecting the best grapes, because we believe that in this vineyard, of all others, we will be making the best wine. |
