The Great Greystone Grape Rapine (or Prune)

Sammo (alias the pruner) is swamped by the Pinot Noir grape growth. Not to last though! She pruned to the right of her then to the left, up and down she went. With a snip snip here and and a snip snip there. Here a cut there a slash (whoops) - All Stand Clear!

A great harvest is expected and needed since the 06 vintage has gone South. Greystone is enjoying a wonderful summer - only the Cockies are in trouble. The Wairarapa is very dry and many relatively shallow bores have dried up with the water table dropping below 7m.
