Certainly it is full swing back in the vineyard, the barrel prune is done (equivalent to going along the vines with a chainsaw) and I have followed with hand pruning and fine tuning of the Shiraz. Waiting for the risk of frost to pass before pruning the Chardonnay; (if you prune too early you will promote bud burst which will 'burn' with frost). So the time spent between prunes is taken up by raking under the vines, fixing posts, cleaning wire, mending wires… UP COMING EVENTS - WINE TASTING & SALES Saturday 12 August 2017, Taste of the Blackwood, Bridgetown Town Hall, WA Local Wines, Foods, Ciders, Arts & Crafts, Hourly Workshops and more from 10am to 5pm.
