Wine grapes
August 15, 2016
We have been very careful with our vineyards and this is our third harvest. We started out with three year old vines and we grew them for three years picking all the fruit off as they grew so the vines roots had the best opertunity to get strong the we only let 25 percent of fruit to ripen first year and last year we let 50 percent and this year we had about 75 percent go to fruitation. One of our goals was to grow enough grapes to fill 2 barrels so they are even on a rack and next year we should be there. It takes along time to grow wine vineyards and its a lot of fun.
