Vineyard manager Nelson Stewart's virtual journal of his experience at Allegro Vineyards & Winery in Brogue, PA. Stewart's reputation as a "vine czar" was established in growing high quality grapes for Karamoor Estates (Fort Washington, PA), Black Ankle Vineyards (Mt. Airy, MD) and Boordy Vineyards (Hyde, MD) before joining forces with winemaker Carl Helrich of Allegro.

After a year of planning we added to the Allegro vineyard. This photo shows the new block of Petit Verdot on the right and Cabernet Franc on the left with Merlot in the far distance. You might have to look pretty close to see the vines but there are thousands in the picture! Big thanks to Ken, Tim, Andrew of Benchmark Custom US for piloting the awesome GPS guided planter and to Matt and Rebecca for there help. Next up is the installation of the trellis.
