All of our wine except for Pinot Noir is full bodied and complex. The Pinot Noir is usually light in color, but if you overlook this deficiency it has the characteristics of a fine Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay produces three clusters per bud if not damaged by spring frosts. You mention in you philosophy write up that you hand hoe your entire vineyard. This still leaves some hand weeding to be done close to the vines.
Weeds are our biggest problem in the vineyard.
They are very vigorous, impede air flow and are a source of disease. We have a lot of humid still nights and have to be alert to blackrot and downy mildew conditions. Any suggestions for better weed control would be appreciated. Working the mules in the vineyard creates a lot of interest during vineyardtours. Thanks for your time.
