North-east grape growers are worried smoke from the bushfires might affect grape quality in the lead up to harvest. </p> <P>
Janelle Boynton from Boynton's Winery near Bright says grapes are being tested throughout the region to determine if there has been any damage.</p> <P>
She says smoke can taint the flavour of grapes, which happened to its fruit after the 2003 fires.</p> <P>
"A lot of it comes out during fermentation," she said.</p> <P>
"We found with our 2003 vintages that there was a lot more hype about the taint than there was about the actual outcome post fermentation of the fruit.</p> <P>
"You just have to do a bit of trial and error and do the best we can with the situation."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/24D2F049-4D86-4EEB-9512-6A91E6C8DBC6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
