Thanks!
It took two years after planting my pinot noir, to get grapes. By trial and error I found that a wet spring encourages massive foliage growth at the expense of fruit. It's worth removing most of the foliage without signs of flowers/fruit sets and just leaving enough to sustain the plant and give some protection from birds, or you can end up with mildew.

Growing grapes is a challenge !
