    Irrigation/Watering Schedule - Michigan - Marquette Vines

    I also planted marquette vines in very sand soil. The first year I watered about one gallon of water per week, if it didn't rain. All grew well. The second year I didn't water the vines did poorly. Now if it doesn't rain for two weeks I give them water. Seems to work ok.

    I picked sept 13 brix was 22 ph 3.6. I did blend with marquette and verona. Still had to raise brix from 22 to 23.5. You should be ok with yours. I am a little south of Lake geneva so they may have been a little more ripe.

    Hello fellow winemakers.i am from Southern Wis.

    Not so sure I have any specific tricks. I may even make things easier for myself. Last fall I picked the grapes, crushed, sulfited and immediately froze. After all three reds were blended I did a standard ferment and a light oaking. I'm no expert but my friends all like this wine . I...

    Hello fellow winemakers.i am from Southern Wis.

    I had a meeting a agronomist to discuss fertility of soil, she indicated that I could apply 1 or 2 lbs. Of nitrogen per acre at bloom to help fruit set. I think it's best to not apply any fertilizers.

    Hello fellow winemakers.i am from Southern Wis.

    The soil is rocks,sand with about 6" top soil. I fertilized with 6oz. 17-17-17. The vines are very vigorous. Last fall I had the soil analyzed, found out my vines are planted on a former cow feed lot. No more fertilizer. One more bit of information. I moved these vines using a 42" tree spade...
