Here's some test numbers for grapes in our vineyard. We are in a drought again this summer in the Kansas City area. We've had 5/8 in rain on our property since July 9th. So, send a little of the rain from the East coast and Arizona to KC.
Baco Noir-22.7 brix, 3.27 pH, 1.08% TA Vidal Blanc-16.4 brix, 3.05 pH, 1.08% TA Chardonel-20.2 brix, 3.09 pH, 1.20% TA NY 73-18.4 brix, 3.19 pH, 0.85% TA Cab. Franc- 19.5 brix, 3.28 pH, 0.77% TA Blue Chardonel - 18.0 brix, 3.08 pH, 1.23% TA
I haven't got a clue what "Blue Chardonel" grapes are. The vine came with my original Chardonel vines 4 years ago. It grew the best so I started some new vines from it before I knew the grapes would be blue. I replaced some dead Chardonel vines the second season and now have 4 "Blue Chardonel" vines in the vineyard.
