Starting a Vineyard Part 13 - Harvesting (& when to pick the grapes)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 жов 2021
- Harvest time on our small vineyard has come!! Deciding when to pick the grapes is a matter of judgement but there are some things that help make that decision.
So about 18 months after the first vine went into the ground, we are at the stage of actually picking some grapes. We are not expecting that many grapes because we are only in our second year. However, we should have enough to make a small batch of wine so that we can see what potential our vineyard has.
We are growing the Bacchus variety on a SO4 root stock. This particular variety is grown on a Double Guyot training system.
We used a simple Brix refractometer which shows the sugar content of fruit. A very useful device that requires no batteries. Approximately 0.55 of the sugar content will give you the potential alcohol content, so a Brix % of 19 will give a potential alcoholic content of about 10.45% This can always be increased by adding dextrose so that the final alcohol content is increased to the desired level.

Very exciting!! I am so looking forward to following your progress with the vineyard operation :) thanks for sharing your journey with us.
This is an excellent series of videos, you really deserve 100X the views!
Congratulations on the harvest. Keep up the top work.
Thanks, will do!
Congratulations on your harvest. I look forward to the future videos, and the inspiration for the future.
Just watched all the videos in a row. Great job and really helpful with the amount of detail yoiu are adding. We just cycled through Bordeaux at harvest time and it was so lovely we decided to plant up our three acres of field in Hampshire with vines - so all this is super useful and very encouraging - especially as you appear to be enjoying the process so much.
Awesome, thank you! Respect is due if you watched all the videos in a row!! Very impressed hearing that you have planted 3 acres. We used to live in Hampshire - a very nice part of the world.
Thank you for the videos. I am in the U.S. , in Mississippi.
Great video, very much enjoyed thanks for posting! atb
Thanks Fred 😄😄
thanks a lot for sharing!
Congratulations on the harvest. Great work on the videos. During the 3rd, 4th and 5th year you will notice a dramatic difference in the cluster shape and size with each year become more mature. In addition to the Brix and pH you should also take a titratable acid (TA) test because pH is not correlated with the concentration of acids present. If I had to choose between pH and TA at harvest I would choose TA anytime as it will demonstrate whether or not you should pick now or let the berries hang longer to reduce the acid levels. If the acid is still high but other conditions are present forcing you to harvest then you will have to incorporate pre or post fermentation techniques to adjust the acid so you get the wine you want. The pH level is critical in determining how much sulfite to add to protect the wine from oxidizing or spoiling post fermentation but for determining harvest in my opinion would rely on the TA. Keep up the great work!
Hi Jayeson, that's fantastic advice - thank you. I shall do some more research on TA now. It's one reason why I post these videos, as I want to learn from the wider community like yourself. A
Inspirational! Thank you a lot for sharing! Congrats on the harvest! 💫
and the kite is flying... time to pick
Im exciter to see how you prepare them for full yield in the new year
Hi Anthony, I'm really enjoying what you're doing with both the vineyard and Talking Money. I'm thinking of doing similar and setting up a small vineyard so your videos are both informative and inspiring. I'm just wondering how your wine-making is going from this year's grapes. Can't wait for the next installment! Thank you.
Insightful
Thanks for your videos, quite motivational to start this!That press looks interesting, can we get a clip about it?
Hey, wanted to send a message to say really enjoying your videos and really looking forward to seeing the next one. I’m doing the same thing as you but on a much smaller scale…1 Bacchus vine in my back garden haha!! Just bottled my first lot of wine and must say if it comes out nice it will be more by fluke than any skill!! Any hints and tips on the pruning side of things, keeping mildew at bay and wine making would be awesome so looking forward to your next videos 😀
Awesome, thank you! Regarding your questions. Mildew is best kept on top of almost immediately after the first leaves come through in spring - we try to spray every 10 days depending on weather. This year I used Potassium bicarbonate which proved quite good with mildew only appearing in the latter stages of the season but future years may need something better but we shall see.... You can prune vines in a variety of different ways - its hard to prune too much - they simply want to grow, but we use the double guyot system which essentially leaves just 2 canes from the previous year trailing along the trellis (fruiting line) - have a watch of one my video on this, but I will be doing a future video on winter pruning too. Regarding actual wine making, I may have to take advice from you!! but I shall post some videos on this too. Sounds interesting - let me know how your wine turns out.
How do you keep the birds away as the grapes become sweet?
Great videos, just watched them all and keen to see the next ones, however did you continue the wine making one? Was keen to see how you made the small batch from those first grapes.
Did you get around to making any wine? Would be interesting to see how it went.
Hi there.
Yes, we had a good year last year and I will be making some videos on the process that we go through making the wine. I haven't yet because, I am still very much learning the process ourselves but hopefully, if we have a good year this year, I will make some videos on this later in the year.
Vineyard in England, with no constant sunshine !? Man you must be just in love with owning a vineyard! Good luck anyway.
Another great video. We had problems with about 4 frosts this year, so still trying to establish the majority of the vines. Still looking good, though. I am interested that you did not use a destemmer first. Was this a conscious choice or is that the method for the Bacchus grape variety?
Hi, just a quick question: did you need to apply for an EIA Screening Decision from Natural England before you set up the vineyard?
Your Vines are looking beautiful!! Why aren't you removing the stems?
Hi Jeffery. Great question. I think I will be in future with a destemmer. For this year I pressed the juice straight away, so my thinking was that any tannins from the pips or stems would not get transferred to the juice. We shall see though....
@@mycountrylife810 makes sense. I'm excited to see how your wine turns out
Hi mate I have Sunder Khani grapes plant in Newport. I successfully grow it and after three year I have almost 40 more plant. Looking to grow in Newport areas might need your more help
Hellso sir. Is it normal for the grape leaves to look like that when the fruit is almost ripe?
It is Brittain but where???
Sunny Herefordshire. Best county in the UK (although some may disagree:)
@@mycountrylife810 thank you for your answer . I live in Belgium and with the climate changing grapjes growing well.
What are these grape variety, sir?
Watch the video he mentions it
