Row upon row of vines.....

The vineyard has many interesting grape varieties - both red and white. Barbera, Durif, Graciano, Malbec, Mouvedre, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Verdelho, Vermentino and Viognier. At the moment the main focus is on just keeping them alive.

Beautiful shot. I loke your pov and the rows of vines.

It's sad to think about these beautiful, loved plants struggling because of the lack of rain. The dark skies create a concerning mood, possible similar to the owner's feelings.

Are they on drip irrigation or totally dependent on the weather? Beautiful sky.

row upon row of clouds...I really like that you emphasized the cloud-scape.

There is a very nice pattern created by the vines. I hope they are able to survive.

@shutterbug49 Hi Shutterbug - sorry to have been so long in responding to your question. Most of the grapes in our area area irrigated - and mainly by drip feeding as it uses less water. There are a couple of vineyards which only use natural rain as water - their grapes and wines are quite different - still lovely though. :)
