After several weeks of cooler than normal weather it is warming up. Cane growth is less than normal but we expect it to catch up rapidly.
The images were taken today — the fruit has set and it is begining to form. Now we can get a fairly good estimate of the crop and start balancing the vine — reducing the fruit where necessary.
The grenache is estimated to yield nine tons per acre — an aburdly high number – but not unusual with Grenache at this stage. Workers will soon reduce the fruit load so that it is closer to three tons per acre.
Images are of Pinot Noir.
