This year’s vintage in the Yarra Valley will be affected by frost, extreme heat, and fire. These grapes at one of the valley’s premier vineyards hang from a burnt vine.
All my vineyard and winery customers have cancelled their documentary photography bookings this year. I’m doing them for free, for myself, just to keep busy.

Great photo, but I’m sorry to hear about all the bad luck with the vineyard this year.
The growers association is pretty up-beat about it, but its definitely a lean year.

A real shame, Mike. Great picture though just the same.
There will still be a vintage, not sure what it’ll be like is all…

This is the time they SHOULD be documenting!!! Historical data and images that will be looked at with awe in the good times ahead….
Yeah, thats whay I’m doing it. They were paying for promo images though, and can’t see the opportunity in these images, I think. Too soon…

Another excellent shot Mike – the fruit actually looks Ok despite the shrivelled vines.
It does look ok, yeah. This is a Chard clone I think…
