Very little rain recorded again this week. In fact we have not had more than 10mm of rain in a single day for more than 3 months. Another two frosts during the week. Wednesday was a fairly warm windy day that will have evaporated a lot of moisture out of our system. It is still not too late in the season for substantial rainfall, the forecast for this week is looking a little hopeful..... I'll keep you posted.
This week in the vineyard :
We are about to start on our spring work. The picture this week shows Nepenthe viticulture barrel pruning a block we will be top grafting over to Sauvinon Blanc for Yalumba. This block is currently Shiraz and Cabernet that we have not been able to sell for the last 2 years. No signs yet of vines shooting - however they can not be far away now, I would think that next week I will have some whooly buds to report.
