Grape Ripening

Monday, July 28, 2014


Close up of a single grape on a vine, where some berries are already blue, while others are still unripe-green.
Zweigelt grapes begin to ripen.

Time is running and soon this year’s harvest will start.There is still some time left but the first red grapes are changing their colour already. The picture shows current Zweigelt grapes. They’ll completely grow blue within the next few days and start to soften as well. Only six to eight weeks until the harvest starts but that depends on the weather in August!
