Our Gruner Veltliner, in its second year here in Canterbury. Cut back to two buds during the winter and shown here, in late September, with signs of bud burst. Seems to be somewhere in between our Pinot Gris and Riesling in terms of timing. Stay tuned as I try and record this vines growth over the course of the season. One of these buds should provide the shoot that we crop from in the following season. But first things first, the next month will provide some thrills as we do battle with Jack Frost.
