UK 2016 Vintage Report #7 October. A final note now on the progress / harvest of my 2016 grapes.

The rain, which had been sporadic since the start of October, has picked up and most mornings are now damp from overnight showers. As I write, we are just in the midst of several showers and they are forecasted for the week ahead. I’ve unfortunately given up on my Chardonnay c...

UK 2016 Vintage Report #1 – April. A short blog now just to kick-off a diary of my vines in the run up to the 2016 harvest.

In the spirit of this limited accessibility, I will keep the notes accordingly brief. I purchased the rootstock believing it to be Catarratto but last year, as you can see from the picture below, it bore red ...

UK 2016 Vintage Report #6 – September. A quick check in on my vines in what has proven to be an interesting month weather-wise. The beginning of September saw continued sunshine and temperatures hovering around the early twenties (Celsius), and the heat culminated mid-month with the hottest UK September day since 1911! The rainfall for the 12 hours of the storm actually exceeded the average full month total such was the intensity, and flooding caused disruption to the local area. My MVN3 still shows subs...
