As we prepare to harvest our Marquette grapes earlier than expected, the unpredictability of the weather has added a unique set of challenges. Rain threatens to dilute the sugars in the grapes and complicates crucial vineyard tasks like spraying and thinning. While our Marquette crop is smaller, the quality is excellent due to careful management to avoid overcropping. With rain forecasted through the weekend, we’re gearing up for a window of clearer skies on Monday to bring in this important harvest.
