About a week ago, I destemmed the last of my lomanto harvest. 7 vines yielded 55 lbs destemmed. If it wasn't for the birds getting under the netting and a cat falling through the netting knocking down some clusters, I could have made 8 lbs per vine. These vines are young, planted in Feb 2010.
I currently have 45 lbs in the fermenter for a 3 gallon batch. It took almost almost 3 days to thaw them out. Tomorrow I pitch the yeast.
I still have 3 Favorite vines with grapes, they will need another 3-4 weeks before harvest.
I'm not going to have a big scuppernong harvest this year. I think maybe a peach/scuppernong wine is on the to do list.
