This month in the Cellar…
…about to bottle our 2018 Pinot Gris, full bodied, dry and in the same vein as our highly rated 2017. Sampling and thinking about our 2018 reds – are they close to bottling or should we age them longer in barrel? And we will of course be starting to think about the forthcoming harvest, which starts with some full on cleaning of just about everything inside and out of the winery. Harvest will no doubt start in early April and hours worked will start to ramp up!
Out in the Vineyard…
…veraison, the softening on the grapes, accumulation of sugars and colour change, is well underway and the grapes are now in the final home straight towards picking dates. April will be the month of action here when teams of people will descend upon the vines to handpick the fruit. What we need from here on in is settled, dry weather…
