Autumn has well and truly arrived here at Lokkelebery, with beautiful fiery colours throughout the vines. Much like the trees surrounding the vineyard, the vines have started to lose their leaves and will eventually look like a tangle of thin sticks.

We have just completed a major health check on the vines ahead of their leaves dropping, and marked up any vines that have not grown and therefore need replacing in the late Spring. In the early Spring, we will start pruning. The vines will be able to start life again full of energy with plenty of space to grow, after their much needed pruning ‘hair cut’!
