2020
In 2020, the season changed from warm winter to spring, and the buds of the grapes were good. After that, the grapes grew steadily due to moderate rain and high sunshine until the flowering and fruiting period. In the rainy season, the growth of grapes stagnated due to record long rains and lack of sunshine, but with proper control and shade, the damage was slight. After the rainy season, when the full-scale summer season began, good weather continued as if to make up for the lack of sunshine until then, the delayed maturity of the grapes gradually recovered, and the harvest start of Koshu was about the same as usual. rice field . Due to the effects of autumn rain in September and typhoon No. 14 in October, it was a season that was not easy to get rid of until the latter half of the harvest. Thanks to the harvest, we were able to cultivate healthy grapes, although the yield was reduced.
