It looks like we have planted a field full of telephone poles, which will serve as the uprights in our trellis arrangement for the vineyard. The vines are doing well and it is encouraging that we have not only Rondo but also a few Chardonnay and Pinot Noir clusters. The Pinot Noir is surprising as this is only their third season. The Albarino aren't even considering it yet. And the Solaris is seriously disappointing again.
I am concerned about this week's heat wave and lack of rain. An entire week of near 25C temperatures and no rain. That could put a serious damper on grape development. Although the heat might help and there is water below the surface as we saw in the holes that were dug. Fingers crossed.
