| Pinot Noir bud burst 15-04-2020 |
Yesterday, the wind went to the south and suddenly our temperatures skyrocketed. We went from winter coats, hats and gloves two days ago to shorts and T-shirts yesterday. Sure enough, we documented bud burst on all varietals planted in our vineyard.
I thought the Rondo looked questionable when Alex took the photo in the morning. When I went into the vineyard to recheck in the afternoon, it had definitely burst. The Chardonnay plants are not looking great and 2 look very questionable. The Albarino are all alive but the buds on them are tiny. Miniscule to be exact. I wonder if the leaves will grow to normal size or not.
I'm really surprised but pleased at how good the Pinot Noir vines look. They are very robust and have substantial buds.
Today the winds have gone northerly again and we're back to very chilly but sunny weather. It has not rained in days and we've been watering the garden but not the vineyard. It's supposed to warm up against tomorrow and rain is forecast for tomorrow night. Let's hope for the best.
