As I indicated in my post, we had strong winds and rain for the entire week of pollination for the St Croix grapes so we had a very poor set of berries. However, some of the clusters got filled fairly well. Here's a picture of a few clusters. The berries are a bit bigger than the Marquettes.
Harvest was on Monday (8/24) and was rather small (only 7 vines). I'm still not sure I want to keep this grape variety. I may replace these few vines with something else in the future.
Harvest numbers were fairly good. Brix came in at 18 (norm I'm told is 18-20), pH was 3.18, and TA came in at 11.9g/l (1.19%). I brought up the Brix to 23 and started to process.
