SPRING OF 2016

27th OCTOBER 2016
We have had a wet winter and we were bogged in places never wet before including twice in the vineyard while trying to control the grass between the rows. Very late budburst and frost lurking until 23rd October...
It is going to be a great spring for the grass and the weeds, and we marked and tagged 55 very fat calves yesterday.
We racked of our Rose, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from this year's harvest and look forward to bottling before Christmas under our new label design introducing colour for the first time!
Pruning was a big task again but look at the pile of prunings ready to reduce to ashes.
