Doesn't help you now because we have picked them all but you are welcome to harvest you rown grapes down here in Essex next year. We harvest on 4th October, Chardonnay @ 1.094 SG & 11 g/l TA and Pinot Noir @ 1.099 SG & 12 g/l TA. If anyone wishes to help with some picking next year, we can pay you in grapes if you like!
What clones of Ch and Pn did you plant as a matter of interest?
yes , i have put the wife and mine name down on his list of barking idiots for next year, i have never taken part in a grape harvest . have seen many in france but never taken part so we going down for the weekend and after spending the day harvesting and a very very detailed look around the winery, we are then going to get paid in grapes so it sounds like a fantastic weekend away for us
Wine from grapes is alright, but nothing beats the proper stuff to make wine with.
It ended up being a little bit of a farce in the end, and not many grapes came out of it....will steer clear next year.....we are having grpaefest a little later next year so we can have access to Quality white grapes from Italy
