Spring is certainly a time of renewal and new growth here at Brick Bay. All six of our grape varieties have started to produce tiny leaves in that stunning lime green colour that heralds the start of the new vintage.
The arrival of lambs, piglets and ducklings , along with daffodils and bluebells in flower and the new leaves appearing on the oaks that encircle the Glass House lake, complete the feeling of seasonal rejuvenation at Brick Bay.
The tradition of growing roses in the vineyard, arose from the belief that the roses would be an early indicator of mildew infection. Although attractive, we prefer to carefully monitor the vines as a more reliable indicator!
