Title
It takes a team to plant a vineyard.
Description
Planting grape vines was labour intensive. In one of the photographs there are no fewer than 11 men planting grape vines who followed behind another worker with a hand plower and another on an International tractor. In the other photograph we see a freshly furrowed field with clear rows marked for planting. A Brights Wines truck sits in the middle of the field loaded with young vines ready for planting.
