Pebblebed Vineyards

Pebblebed Vineyards today has some 22 acres under vines located on three sites in East Devon close to Exeter. Our producing vineyards are organic, registered with the soil association. 

Vine Stage - Veraison - Our Rondo and Pinot are turning red - very exciting - still great weather!

Its been a fantastic year so far - escaping the late frost - perfect weather at flowering - a bit of rain post flowering to help the canopy and low disease pressure - its our busiest time in the vineyard managing the fast growing canopy to prevent dense growth causing areas of disease.  Now want a bit of sun end of August and September and my "cup will be running over"!

 

 

Bio-Dynamic Trials

We have Edward Templeman working with us for the next six months - he is a mature student at Plumpton Viticulture College and an expert in Bio-Dynamics and under his direction we will be looking into converting part of the vineyard to Bio-Dynamic!  There is a description of the project under our Environmental Projects web page and Ed is going to complete a blog during the trial.
