Summary of whats happening at Paradigm Hill. The vineyard. The drought has broken from one extreme to the other! Celebration dinners: o Melbourne - Donovans Wednesday 16th February 2011 at 7pm o Sydney Manu at Letoile Monday 21 February at 7pm.

See below for more details.

The vineyard. the drought appears to have broken! We hadnt expected to be saying this. And knowing that our dams and tanks are full, we even feel a tad guilty about it but for the time being at least, were over it! Over 900mm this past 12 months more than 50% above recent years and also above long term average. Ive heard it said farmers are never satisfied however, is it too much to ask for things in moderation! We took the decision after last vintage that wed get set up to do all vineyard spraying ourselves. If ever there was a season where it would be essential to be in absolute control then this unprecedented wet/humid spring/summer has been the one. So with a new red tractor [red ones go faster you know!] and state of the art spray gear, we appear [so far at least] to have been rewarded for our ability to respond immediately and as appropriate. So neither downy mildew nor powdery mildew have appeared and the vineyard is looking strikingly healthy and balanced. There is of course, a long way to go before the wine is safely in the winery. But at least so far, so good!
