I‘m getting grapes from a local vineyard in the Northeast USA. This year has been terrible and the Cab Franc is sitting around 19 Brix and 2.9-3.0 pH as of Monday. Think there’s a chance that can come up any amount with this weather by Saturday? I have the option to wait another week, but idk what the weather the next week will be, nor how they’ll deal with the rain. I like to aim for 3.4 pH at crush
Pozdrav. Zanima me kako izgleda pravo kupinovo vino? Susjed ga je daaavno pravio i sjecam se da je bilo jako tamno i gusto, slatko, pitko. Zadnjih godina koje god da sam kupila bilo je svijelo poput rose-a, kiselkasno, razvodnjeno. Ne znam vise sto je pravo kupinovo vino. Ako se tko razumije i da zeli objasniti bila bih mu zahvalna.
What is your opinion about unsprayed Vineyards ? In South Australia, there are no rules and regulations about abandoned Vineyard.
So harvest is coming to an end even in my area which is central Germany. Here it was a great year. 40°C in Summer with just enough water for medium yields and astounding qualities.
I have taken my camera with me this year and took so many shots 😅
The pictures are:
1: Cabernet Cortis
Souvignier Gris
Helios
Sauvignac
All piwi varieties with No or minimal fungicide Treatment.
