Update on our two vineyards in the Hawke’s Bay

 The Keltern vineyard has now been inspected and we are keeping a close eye on disease pressure, as the significant rain events over the past two weeks, and in particular Cyclone Gabrielle this time last week,  have caused so much damage in the region. Downy Mildew is present in some parts of the canopy but has largely been controlled. Botrytis will be our main watch from here until harvest. We expect to commence harvest within the next week. Twyford Gravel vineyard was not flooded and is in good shape at this stage.
