Ripening is proceeding quite nicely as you can see on the photo. Bets are now on as to when full ripeness will be achieved: 10th 15th or 20th August ?
Of course there is the debate as to what ripeness is. Do we mean when sugar levels are highest (pity I don't have a refractometer to measure it - although I am sure I could rig up a DIY densitometer if pushed and if I had enough juice to measure), or when full organoleptic ripeness is attained ? I would go for full organoleptic, as I will probably end up eating the grapes. In this country we are always only just about right as regards sugar, and there is always plenty of acidity.
More news in a week or so.
