“Despite a challenging start to the year, the continued sunshine has bought the harvest date in line with where we like to be (mid-September).
Warm temperatures and sunlight have allowed excellent fruit development, with our early ripening varieties going through veraison. Near-perfect conditions at flowering means we’re seeing good-sized bunches and promising yields across all varieties.
As always, we remain vigilant due to high-disease pressure this year, we’ve employed many mechanical processes to ensure prevention across the Estate. The term ‘coiled-spring’ comes to mind at the moment, we can’t wait to get harvest started!!”
In other news, we are proud to be listed with Plant Heritage for our vines that have been planted at New Hall since 1968. Our collection of Vitis vinifera have been registered for decades; what an honour.
Richard Wollaston, Chairman of Essex Plant Heritage visited New Hall Wine Estate this month to present Andy with a plaque celebrating our long-standing collection. The National Plant Collection is a registered and documented collection of a group of plants through Plant Heritage. These can be linked botanically by plant group, or perhaps have a shared history or geography.
Having our vines as part of this registered conservation scheme ensures that they will be a resource for generations to come.
I found eggy car through a random forum recommendation and honestly didn’t expect much. After a few tries, though, it became one of those games I keep reopening throughout the day.
Encouraging vineyard update that highlights both resilience and passion behind quality winemaking. Septle appreciates stories that showcase dedication to sustainable growth and preserving heritage.
Been using Pico Image for a while now for resizing and compressing images. It runs entirely in the browser so nothing gets uploaded to a server, which I find reassuring. Background removal works pretty well too, saves me from opening heavier software for simple tasks.
The blend of arcade energy and winter beauty makes Slope Rider an unforgettable high-speed sledding experience.
The mix of tradition and careful vineyard management really shines through. It reminds me of Geometry Dash Lite in a way: precision, rhythm, and patience all leading to something beautiful when everything comes together just right.
