THE VINEYARD ON NOVEMBER 1
The wind has played havoc over the past few weeks. I Thought we had seen the last of it in August/September, but alas it seems only to have settled in the last week or so. No problems with bushfire, but a couple of smoky days were unpleasant. Excellent canopy on the Semillon with promising bunch development. Only about 13mm of rain so far this Vintage so no issue with disease, although the kangaroos are starting to eye off the vines.

The Shiraz powers on, a few weeks behind the Semillon. All looks very promising. We dodged a hail storm last week that dropped on Rothbury. Beware the summer storms! Take a look at the slideshow to see how the Vintage is progressing.
