The vineyard in November
November is probably the only quite month in the year for a vineyard and it should be the time for a vineyard manager to take a well earned rest. For Alex this means she will have time to take her 500cc motorcycle test!
Having completed the harvest, the vines are winding down and there isn't a lot to do before we start pruning in December. Last week we sprayed the vines with a copper solution to kill off any disease and later this week Alex will drench the ground with compost tea to improve the fertility of the soil and return some of the nutrients that were used for the grapes.
Once all the leaves have fallen and the wood has ripened we will start pruning the vines. It's going to be quite a task this year as there are 21,000 that need to be expertly cut back, leaving the best canes to tie down for next years growth. Luckily we have December, January and February to complete the task.

Alex's upcoming motorcycle test adds a nice personal touch to the season, and with 21,000 vines to prune, it seems like there's no shortage of work ahead in the coming months!
It seems like November truly offers a brief moment of respite before the busy winter pruning season begins. With 21,000 vines to prune, it's no small task! The copper spray and compost tea sound like crucial steps to keep the vines healthy and the soil fertile for next year's growth. Alex's motorcycle test is a nice personal break during this quieter period.
