I love the promise of this photo. The unknown over the hill, the flock of birds, the morning light.
The dawn was breathtaking.
Nature in all its morning glory.
The two photos below were taken almost a month later. Look at how many of the leaves have fallen since the photos above. It was so beautiful this morning – these give you a sense of it but not nearly as good as it was in reality. Wow wow wow.
Once all the leaves have dropped in a couple of weeks (end Nov/ early Dec) Sean will start the pruning marathon that will keep him busy all winter. Pruning is a very important part of setting the strategy for parcel – it will be a determinant of the quality of wine you want to produce on that part of the vineyard.
Order biodynamic wine from Feely online organic wine boutique , learn more about organic farming and wine at out Wine school or read Caro’s books Grape Expectations , Saving our Skins and latest book Glass Half Full to discover more about wine and the story of building an organic vineyard.
