Alex spotted five broken poles at the top of the vineyard with the vines on the ground at 90 degree angles. The poor Albarino vines were sitting in pools of water so he dug channels to allow the water to escape. The land is just sodden with all the rain. One solitary rose remained in bloom. It will be time to prune the vines soon. Quite a few other flowers are blooming as it has been much warmer than normal this December. And I believe the grass is growing but there's not much we can do about it. It's bad to even walk the land.
A chronicle of our preposterous journey to grow wine grapes and make wine in the west of Ireland, where the mountains come down to the sea along the Wild Atlantic Way.
