Another teasing amount of rain this week. Just enough to keep everything green but not enough to help the looming problem of insufficient moisture levels.
This week in the vineyard :
We have put out our first fungicide spray this week (a Copper & sulfur protectant). We are also modifying the trellis in some of our white varieties to add a catch wire to help improve shading of the fruit. We have been running trials of this system in a number of different varieties for a couple of years, with very good results.
