Swan Valley Vineyard

During our visit to Swan Valley in Western Australia, we have had the chance to get pretty up close with the vineyard around the area.

It's a beautiful sight, too bad it's just after the harvest season thus we don't get to see or pluck grapes directly from the vines. Anyway, it's still an eye opening experience.

Do you know that table grapes are usually grown on T-shaped stands because table grapes needs plenty of shade thus T-shaped stand is ideal for the grapes to grow and be sheilded from the sun.

Where else, wine grapes are grown on Y-shaped stands because of the totally opposite reason. They need plenty of sunlight thus Y-shaped stand will enable to sun to penetrate deeper into the middle of the vines.

Interesting indeed......
