Budbreak was seen in greater than 50% of petit manseng on April 14, and less than 50% of petit verdot that same date.
Frost visited our vineyard April 22. The low temperature reached 31 degrees. There was very mild damage in the petit manseng, but enough to show that old man winter can still make an appearance. New growth is very sensitive to frost, and harvest can be drastically reduced by a frost event.
