Beginnings | ZABIBU

https://zabibu.wordpress.com/beginnings

Produce a Pinot Noir? But not for my father Richard Leakey. To him this represented a challenge. And he gave it all he could. The rocky terraces that cut into the hill side. We taught ourselves wine making using books – armed with plastic buckets, basins, strainers and sieves. We used glass carboys and placed them above the cupboards in the kitchen with bottle traps and I excitedly watched them bubble away. The wines always offered great potential! And our own Pinot Noir. With much encouragement we h...

Wine | ZABIBU

https://zabibu.wordpress.com/wine

We have recently decided that Pinot Noir is the grape we will stick with in the vineyard as it has produced us several years of very enjoyable wine and it likes this terroir. We have called the Pinot Noir –. The first year we allowed anyone from the wine world to sample our wine. In a fabulous chapter on Kenya, In. And John Platter and Hugh Johnson, they describe ‘. 8220;Certainly the most drinkable red we’d tasted in the tropics. ”. Produced only 190 bottles. 3 remain. John Platter. Disaster struck with...

Downy mildew | ZABIBU

https://zabibu.wordpress.com/2007/02/20/downy-mildew

I have moved to www.zabibu.org →. February 20, 2007 · 2:39 pm. I mentioned bad mildew problems in 2004 (see WINE page above) and how we lost the entire crop. Well is really was bad. Look at the state the fruit was in that year. The fruit was badly affected in 2004. There was no fruit to make any wine with. Lesson. It wont happen again! The yellow oilmark spotting on the top side of the leaves- Downy Mildew. The brown/burnt looking patches on the underside of the same leaf- Downy Mildew. Fill in your deta...

Canopy management | ZABIBU

https://zabibu.wordpress.com/2007/02/19/canopy-management

Green to pink to purple. Downy mildew →. February 19, 2007 · 9:52 am. The year we lost the entire crop- 2004 was largely because our canopy management went to shot. Too much foliage, bad pruning and no thinning. Added to that we were growing very vigorous varieties susceptible to mildews such as Sauvignon Blanc. Poor canopy management the year we lost the entire (2004). However it really helps to get it right from the beginning-Right from the word pruning. We now prune the vines. Green to pink to purple.
