Our vineyard was in anthesis or bloom beginning around June 21 for the Chardonnay and then followed quickly by the rest of the vineyard when we had a heat wave from June 26-28, when even the Cabernet Sauvignon was in bloom. Between the time when we first noticed bloom in the vineyard, we had a rain event on June 25th that brought 2-inches of rain.
Our vineyard is now in fruit/berry set and this is what it looks like:
Variety |
Stage of Berry set on July 7, 2019 |
Auxerrois |
|
Chenin Blanc |
|
Chardonnay |
|
Cabernet Sauvignon |
|
Cabernet Franc |
|
Our Chardonnay is clearly ahead of the pack with respect to berry set and the Cabernet Sauvignon is the laggard, but the Auxerrois, Chenin Blanc and the Cabernet Franc are berry-to-berry!
