Baby Sangiovese grapes!
Bloom/Pollination/Fertilization is almost over in the vineyard. We thought you might like to see these little bitty grapes as they are formed now and will grow in size until about mid-June. After that veraison (fancy name for turning color) and ripening. Then before I know it, harvest and wine making…stay tuned!
This picture was taken April 1st, 2012, and no fooling around, this may be the biggest cluster yet from our vineyard. The sangiovese has already reached stage 15 on the Eichorn-Lorenz stages in shoot development–and we haven’t even had Easter yet!

Go to Killeen Daily Herald, then to “Multimedia“, from there, choose “slideshows” then choose “grapes” or if that isn’t a choice, then look in the “archives” and it’s filed under September 2009, “grapes“.
There is a multimedia presentation by Steven Doll. He made the recordings and pictures on Saturday, August 22nd. If your speakers are on, you’ll hear me and Tyler discussing the vineyard. It’s a very pleasant 2 minute escape from the real world, so enjoy!
