We now start to plan soil testing and mid row weed management. After the leaves have fallen the vines will then be ready for pruning, scheduled for June/July.

The Thomas Vineyard grapes were finally picked on Saturday 26th March, four weeks later than last year; picking was cancelled twice due to the rain throughout March. The quantity was way down on the 2010 vintage, the Baume was 14.6 so hopefully the quality will be consistent to our past vintages.
