News and Events

The vineyard is looking pretty good at the moment. Still, anything can happen – it’s 8-9 more weeks to harvest. Storm, tempest, hail. Anything …!

Looking on the bright side, veraison (where the grapes take on that misty look to their skins) has happened; the red grapes (pinot noir) are beginning to turn and it is looking healthy. Our worm cast tea foliar spray (our fourth year of this) has played a real part in this. Together with the sheep wool mulch which has kept the rows we’ve mulched fed and prevented drying out of the soil. All in all, not too bad at the moment but still a way to go!
