Hail damage in Touraine vineyards
5 August 2009
Last evening had a quick wander in some of the local vineyards on the edge of Epeigné-les-Bois and Saint-Georges-sur-Cher. Unfortunately there are some sectors that have been very badly hit by hail with bunches lacerated, leaves shredded and canes marked by the hail stones. The worst damage I saw was in a vineyard just to the south of the A85 autroroute, while just to the north of the A85 there was some evidence of damage but very much less severe. Hail is very often extremely localised – there is less than a kilometre from the badly damaged vineyard and the one much less affected.
