After an incredibly wet winter, followed by a wet spring, the ground
water is fully replenished and the vineyard is in fine health. A
somewhat cool, wet start to the season meant we are slightly behind at
the moment, but anything can happen between now and vintage....and
is likely to!
Although we have had our fair share of heat early this year, the vines
are in excellent health and are now approaching verasion. We're
running a week or so behind at this stage, with no need to panic just
yet!
Due to the cool start to the season, flowering in the Riesling was just
OK, so yields will be down a bit this year in the whites, but not the reds
(they flower and set a little later).
As always, we welcome everyone to our cellar door as long as an
appointment is made to ensure we are here!
Fingers crossed for a solid finishing strait to vintage.
Belinda´s wines from Spain are now available for purchase. They are
both 100% Verdejo - a native Spanish white varietal. Please contact
the winery for further information.
