absolute chaos out in the vinyards this morning

woke up to a hell of a noise

everybody is out there doing everything they can to keep the air moving, using huge fans, burning straw bales, its like apocolypse now out there.

expected temperature just 1c this morning, but forecast for -2c tomorrow.

A frost would destroy the flowers which have only just come out.

Could mean yet another failed vintage!
