Keeping an eye out

While we are always in contact with our growers in other regions its good to be able to keep a handle on the season generally just to get an idea of how things are going. Webcams and Vineyard Weather stations are an ideal way to do this from afar.

Regional Webcams

Central Otago - Lake Wanaka, Clyde, Alexandra, Queenstown

Weather Stations

These are from the excellent site harvest.com and have the added advantage of calaculating GDD as well as temperature, rainfall, wind and humidity.

Central Otago - Brennan location of our PinotNoir

Marlborough - St Lukes our Sauvignon Blanc vineyard.

Waipara - Huxley, Camshorn on the valley floor, Omihi to the north, or Muddy Water on the hillside.

Rain Radars

Elders and MetService have very good hourly radars that we can use to track bad weather.
