Hope you have a good day William!
I been doing some research! Dec 5th 2012 you joined the forum!!
How are the grapes going this year? I'm guessing at Stanthorpe budburst was a while ago?
Any photos of your vines close up?
William do you get mechanical harvesters in or all hand picked?
A chap I know has stuck to hand picked with V trellis & reckons he get's more extra to pay for pickers.
Admittedly he doesn't have hundreds of hectares though.
Have a good day mate!
Happy Birthday Busman

Re: Happy Birthday Busman
Thanks all, sorry did not reply yesterday, I am in the middle of building a bottling line and it is a bit more than I imagined. Great harvest last year, had to give away some grapes we had so much wine. Will take some pics of vines as soon as they get a liittle more foliage on. cheers Bill
