The Prospects for 2015...
I have been unusually absent form the vineyard this spring, partly due to a deadline on finishing my book on the wines of Madeira but also due to a number of family problems. So it is with great excitement that I set foot in the vineyard to see where we are at with the grapes and the ripening process. We are mid-way through what the locals call the pintor, literally the ‘painter’ when the grapes change colour.
