@sabrosiavit What’s up with the burnt margins on the leaves in the foreground - nutrients ?

@sabrosiavit The continued inexorable rise of “Feel Good” viticulture - of it feels good, it must be right. Forget the inconvenience of data, science, proof. Just go with what gives you good vibes....

@sabrosiavit That ain’t great.

@spskelton Tech screw with a hex head...

We use them on metal posts. Just use a nut and bolt.

@jamiegoode True that... not much grown around our neck of the woods - certainly distinctive.

@Cereswines That’s true. The PG/PBl change is because it’s just one Myb gene involved. And it’s pretty striking

Why Pinot Meunier is weird but wonderful - some interesting wine science! wineanorak.com/2020/09/29/why…

@jamiegoode Abel an interesting choice of comparison given its murky history - single or multiple vines - who knows? The legend grows 😉

@Cereswines Semantics. A clone is originally a bud sport mutation that creates a distinctive mutation that is then propagated vegetatively. PM is a clone of PN just as Abel or 115 is

@spskelton It’s a specific brand that has pre drilled holes for wire care clips and also fruiting wire or irrigation wire clips. There is no such thing as a standard galvanised steel vineyard post - this brand is dominant in NZ due to strength/cost/design

How is “Eco Trellis” different to the standard galvanised steel posts we use in the U.K?

@MJLoza @MRC_org_nz @nzwine Great result MJ. Pressure off a bit!?

Great result @MRC_org_nz Looking forward to seeing future developments on site to benefit the @nzwine industry, research, and education. #nzwine #marlborough

@spskelton That looks like a complete nightmare.... way too tight - hate to be the tractor driver ok that bad boy. Any damage to the trunks ?

And here’s a video of it.

It’s a tough year.... poor fruit set due to cold during December has lead to some (but not all) bunches with the results of poor flowering and low fruit set - upside is intense and concentrated flavours... @ Ceres… instagram.com/p/B74xiI2nNCb/…

@edsi100 Now there is a surprise #not

Prices are high circa +20% this year #HospicesdeBeaune

@edsi100 @ljadot @MatthewClarkLtd Now you are just showing off #seriouslyenvious

Did anyone remember the corkscrew????? @ljadot @MatthewClarkLtd

@edsi100 @ljadot Stay strong - you will make it.... 🤞 🤣

Off to @ljadot this morning for tour, barrel tasting and lunch. Another tough day

@sabrosiavit What has happened to your vineyard 😳

An oldie but a goodie - the old girl (1963 Massey Ferguson 35X) mowing spring we can do an #undervine #mow #pinotnoir #pinotcentral #centralotago #nzwine #wine #organic #sustainable @ Ceres Wines instagram.com/p/B4I_84hH-Kr/…

It’s all go - massive push in the last couple of days with the older vines getting in on the #budburst act - not ready for shoot thinning quite yet with some of the secondary buds not pushing yet #viticulture… instagram.com/p/B3dEDCBn41l/…
