Rain should not cloud grape crop prospects

Mudgee grapegrowers welcomed a weekend of sunshine and warm temperatures but there are still watchful eyes on the weather radar. As of Tuesday a high chance of rain was predicted over the central tablelands in the next 23 of 28 days. About 40 millimetres of rain across the region last week added to what has been described as a cool and wet season. However Bunnamagoo winemaker Robert Black said recent rain should not cloud local grape growers’ judgement, reports the Mudgee Guardian.
