With the last of the fruit safely off the vines we have a moment to catch our breath and say thank you to all of you who made it such a great season!
Overall we had excellent yields and good quality, and the scarcity of late summer rains meant that there was little risk of rot while the fruit was ripening.
This season we had our first harvest of the Syrah test vines that were planted in 2018 and we’re happy to report that they reached 24.5° Brix by August 27. We’ll see how they do next season but so far they are definitely a contender for our next expansion!
