Winners and winers

Harvest has begun!! We took the gewurz off on Wednesday, and decided that because of the small bunch size and the green undeveloped berries that we would do a machine harvest. I think it came off very well, but very low tonnage and the winery were not happy with the brix levels. So the rest of harvesting is on hold. The spray protection has run out, so we are very vulnerable. But not a lot we can do this year.

On a brighter note here is Duncan and his golfing mates winning the Bull Cup. It is one of the few that he had not won at Poverty Bay, so he was very pleased.

Busy days and restless nights with a severe headcold and cough. Hope you are all well.
