Wine & Grapes Update

Last years Sangiovese Rose is poor, I think we picked at too low Brix.  The grapes are looking really good this year, my plan is to pick at around 24 Brix, and to soak on skins for 48 hours.

We have had a lot of problems with something eating the grapes again, I am convinced it is deer,.  We have hung bars of soap and this seems to have solved the problem.

Last years Pecorino has been bottled, and I am really pleased it is the by far the best wine we have made yet, so this year I am targeting to pick again at 24.5 Brix.

As of today Briox levels are

Pecorino;  20
Sangiovese; 16
Montepulciano ; 15

Still a way to go so fingers crossed for some sunny days
