<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have about 20% of our Chardonnay still on the vines. This section of the vineyard is always 2-3 weeks behind the majority of the vineyard. The first harvest was on 8 October at 23.4 Brix. The remaining 20% is up to 22 Brix. I sprayed Rally last Monday anticipating
the rain. The question is, should I pick now or run the risk of infection while waiting until I get close to 23 Brix?<br>
<br>
Any advice is appreciated since I haven’t faced this weather situation before.<br>
