We are now preparing for the Chenin Blanc harvest on Sunday October 11, 2020. The majority of our vineyard is dedicated to Chenin Blanc but we have two clones, 982 and FPS-1. This is the first year that we will be harvesting Chenin Blanc clone FPS-1.
Here is what the FPS-1 looks like: The FPS-1 clone is a looser cluster than the 982 and the berries are bigger. We love seeing these grapes as the sunlight shines through them. It is a beautiful yellow!
We have two data points for our two clones of Chenin Blanc:
