Spring has well and truly arrived and the growth on the vineyard is racing away. Gisborne is the first on the A&P show circuit, driving past with the window down the screams of the fun fair wafted through – memories!
Oh it's cold; cold and wet again, the memories of last week's sunshine just a dim blur. The vineyard is almost pruned, stark brown fingers sticking up at the sky. Soon though, buds will burst, and it will all start again. Time to get inside and have something quick and satisfying, Spade Oak style, while contemplating the next vintage.
