When  I went up to the vineyard to bag grapes, my heart sank. The majority of Rondo grapes were shrivelled and hard like desiccated raisins. 

Black rot. The day before, I had been measuring Brix and all looked okay. Today, it was horrendous. We'll have to make a decision - harvest early while there are still some grapes, or take a chance and wait till Brix reaches 20s. Its hard to know. 

At least the Pinot Noir is looking good.
