CHARDONNAY GRAPE HARVEST OCTOBER 2009

 

Our crop of chardonnay grapes harvested on 10 October was even bigger than the previous week's crop of pinot noir grapes - 2,250 kilos.

 

 

 

 

 

Our bumper crop of Pinot Noir grapes were harvested on 3 October - we picked about 1,300 kilos of grapes in about 3 hours.

OCTOBER 2008 - OUR FIRST GRAPE Harvest

Our Chardonnay grapes

 

AUGUST 2008 update

Our grapes, both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, are growing well.

 

 

July 2008 update

 

 

 The vines are growing well and many will bear fruit this year. Such was the strength of growth that we had to do a second bud-rubbing and removal of lower growth towards the end of June. This is now completed and all we need do for the moment is tuck the growing branches between the wires and keep the grass cut.
