This week in the vineyard:
Vintage continues at a frantic pace. This week we have been picking Riesling, Semillon, White Frontignac and Cabernet. We have now finished all of our Semillon and White Fronti. We will pick the last of our White grapes this coming week. The Cabernet was picked very early by Peter Lehmann for a Rose’ product they are planning. We have the first blocks of Shiraz booked to be picked early next week, in fact Yalumba will be picking all of their blocks of Shiraz this coming week. The mild weather has meant a fabulous ripening period for our grapes and should mean very good flavour profiles for all of the varieties so far picked. There is some hot weather coming early this week, and potentially some rain later, from a tropical cyclone currently off the West Australian coast – so we will be trying to get as much off as quickly as we can. This week’s photo shows a bunch of Shiraz grapes, ready to pick in the next week or so.
