Just sprayed again today, albeit more lightly than previous sprays, using only 80 litres total. The vines look very healthy, and still showing reasonable amount of fruit.
The weather this past week has been very mixed, temperatures dropped right down to around 20 degrees, with quite a lot of rain, altho it looks set to be fine and to warm up now.
Montepulciano
Starting to turn red, and the berries have definately swollen. Brix at 13 today, which is a dramatic increase in 8 days.
Sangiovese
Starting to turn red, and the berries have definately swollen. Brix at 15 today, which is a good increase in 8 days.
Pecorino Row 3 and 4
I think the berries may be just starting to swell slightly, altho they are still very small, not much more than half the volume of the red grapes. Strange Brix reading, with Row 3 showing Brix 11, a very good increase on last week, Row 4 showing Brix 7, which does seem strange. Lets see how these develop over the next two weeks.
