Crop thinning….

Ornithologically Harvested ? Is that a word ? It is now ! Heres a graphic example of what happens when you dont have bird netting in place. The birds werent exactly hanging around waiting for Brix levels to hit 21, for acids to fall into place or for seed tannin levels to mature. Once they got a taste for it there was no holding them back. In this neighbouring vineyard the birds have greedily eaten through nearly 10 tonnes of fruit. Ouch!
