Our next adventure ! We have grafted about 2 acres of vines to Chardonnay . Master grafters Bruce and Brian from Victoria helped us graft some clone 95 on to our existing roots . A lot of nurturing and hopefully next harvest we will see some grapes. I’m partial to a Chardonnay so very keen to get something special .
