Well, we have got it all done, if not by Christmas at least by New year. All the Sangiovese is now neatly, or almost neatly, twisted onto the top wire and the Pinot Grigio tucked into it’s Scott Henry positions. Scott Henty was an engineer and viticulturist in Oregon, U.S.A. who devised his trellis system to both help control dense canopies and to maximize sunlight penetration into the fruiting zone. Our aim is to produce a crisp, fruit driven Pinot Grigio. We will pick it early while the fresh, tropical fruit flavours are to the fore and we expect the more even ripening of the Scott Henry trellis will aid us. All things being equal my viticultural experience tells me it should work but then all things are never equal, and all you can do in the end is try to get the best out of your vineyard every year, the best in the lessor years and the best in the good years. At 3 Acre Vineyard we are dedicated to doing the extra one per cent even if as in the case of twisting on the Sangiovese we sometimes wish we weren’t quite so dedicated. Ah! but it is all for the wine, so we can drink the best Sangiovese we can make and so can you.
