GRAPE HARVEST UPDATE

27th September 2011

The Montepulciano and the Sangiovese both look excellent. Probably should have thinned them, especially the Sangiovese as it is just loaded with fruit, but I have had other priorities this year,

The Montepulciano are not quite ready to pick, showing at aroun 21 Brix, but the Sangiovese still have a way to gay, showing at just over 18 Brix at the moment.

The Pecorino are a big disappointment, they look very sad, courtesy of the problem we had with the weed killer, I doubt that we will get any crop at all from the this year :-( Still there is always next year, and now we have the prospect of making red wine with great looking Montepulciano grapes, very exciting !
