The relatively dry and frost free conditions have allowed us to pick what is ripe and allow more time for the late season varieties to mature. This week we brought in the last of our Riesling, Ravat and Vidal Blanc, with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot still hanging. The weather next week is looking superb with temps in the 60's and 70's with full sunshine. Perfect for our reds. Our yields are good and the brix are right where we need them to be.
Fun Fact: By the end of today George will have lifted 27,600 pounds of bottled wine from the last two days of bottling. Someone has to put all those bottles into the cases!
