Block 1 on a foggy morning November ‘21
We put compost over the whole ground in all the vineyards and caned the vines in Feb ‘23. Looking forward to bud break!
At bud break we sprayed BluVite - a nutrient that supports microbiome health. We sent soil tests prior and will do so again at the end of the season.
We picked on Oct 14, 2023 - a very late harvest, at 23* brix, and 3.6 pH.
2024
This may be the first year we have more
than we can fit into a barrel!
