Vintage 2011
Varieties
Foxy Grapes,
Pinot Noir,
Shiraz PProduction This year I was going to be so careful. The portable vineyard ended up being about the same amount of pots of Shiraz, and two extra Pinot Noir pots- I thought the chardonnay I had was PN due to the berries not ripening to a red colour last year! There are five new shiraz pots, two which fruited a few small bunches. Next year, there will be about six more I should say. There are about a dozen yearlings(?) in the PV pots to separate out in winter, I think that was a bad idea- will try to use a greenhouse next year Live and
learn. Shiraz Yard 2011
VintageFoxy Garage GrapesOn 2 March 2011- brix approaching 20. The two bushes of this grape variety are so productive, and somewhat sickly sweet as you walk by.
