We’ve had a wet spring and early summer, with above average rainfall, usually in weekly/fortnightly big drops. The vines are looking fantastic as a result, with big canopies and plenty of well formed bunches. We now need to be careful of mildews (canopy management and fungicide sprays) and keep a careful eye on the fruit load. Earlier in the season we did some shoot thinning, and at the moment we’re taking out bunches in the Sangiovese and the Pinot Noir, both of which will overcrop if allowed, particular in such a good season. Lets hope we miss any hail that might be around. Next big job – deploying nets to keep the pesky birds at bay…
