Pinot Noir second to burst

 


Alex took a photo of our first bud burst among the Pinot Noir vines yesterday. It's not leafy yet and given that it's a cold week, I'm really surprised. Curiously, last year we had bud burst on all the varietals on the same day. This year not so. I think the Pinot will do well for us. 

I reported the bud burst to the UK Vineyard Report and noticed that they want reports at every stage. We only reported bud burst last year. This year, I'll have to record and report bud burst, frost, flowering, veraison, harvest and end of season. My little contribution to monitoring climate change.
