Winter finds us pruning and preparing for another season. Up and down the coast last season was extremely difficult.  We can only hope for better weather and this coming year. Pruning on the frost-safe blocks has started and will continue until the end of next month. We wait to prune the frost sensitive blocks until we have buds starting to push, which slows their growth in spring and gives us

September brought us record heat over most of California, and included Rosenthal Malibu Estate. Highs in the 100F range are normally not ideal for ripening wine grapes, but the vineyard fared very well. Aside from a small amount of raisining and sunburning of lower leaves, the vines and fruit are fine. Today we are picking the Viognier and Muscat in the new block 12. We should have close to 200

We have finally entered summer at Rosenthal - The Malibu Estate ("RME"), and although it is at the end of August, we are thankful for the heat. State-wide temps have been so low that we are seeing ripening in most red varieties coming on a couple weeks late. One bonus to having cool weather is the improved soil moisture status and the need for less irrigation. Our canopies look very good, and

Hi to all of the readers and responders of the Rosenthal Estate Vineyard blog from George Rosenthal in Israel.  Early modern day vineyards here in Israel were first established by members of the Rothchild families.  We visited vineyards in the Golan Heights which account for some of the finer wines produced in the region due to the high elevation and cooler climate.  It's interesting to note

Rosenthal Malibu Estate is experiencing a very cool summer. Even with the current heat spell, most fruit in the area (and state-wide) will be late this year. However, RME is situated in a warm area of the Malibu/Santa Monica Mountains which aids in ripening, even in a cool year. Crop levels are always adjusted at RTME for maximum quality, and in those blocks with more fruit than desired we are
