monster in the vineyard

We think this machine is ready to travel between the rows to spray the vines.

English sparkling wine is produced here in Hampshire from 50:50 chardonnay/pinot noir by a winemaker originally from Champagne who teamed up in 2004 with the non-wine-drinking owner of Little West End Farm, between Winchester and Petersfield. The South Downs Way skirts the farm. In my shot here:

Interesting find and title. Great to be producing wine here have you tried it.

It is a monster hazel. I think i prefer my sparkling wine (like all my wines) to be varietal :-)

Great shot of the machine. We use similar to trim the branches in the orchards.
