Wow! 26 brix
Here is email I sent to vineyard manager:
I sampled the Block 3 Alban and Block 7 470 this morning, expecting a larger than normal sugar rise. I picked 4 clusters of each. The 4 clusters came from two different rows, 1 from each side of the row.
The Alban came in at 22 brix, almost the same as last week, but the 470 came in at 26 brix!
Is that possible? Do sugars ever drop?
I think the cooling trend should slow down the sugar rise.
The grapes look good. I did not see too many raisins. The 470 is nice and soft, with crunchy seeds.
Anyone else thinking of picking?
