Wedderwill is starting to harvest

FINALLY! We are very excited to start with our harvest. It has taken a long season this year before we could start with the nicest time of a farmer's and winemaker's life - the harvesting. 342 days have passed since we picked the last grapes almost a year ago. 342 days of preparation for this harvest starting off with post harvest irrigation, cover crop planting in the rows for organic mulch, pruning, suckering, tipping and canopy management in summer.
Now it is already the 19th of February, which is three weeks later than we usually harvest. But this is because of all the rainy surprises of this season and the considerably cooler temperatures. On Friday we started our first small bit from block 3 and are finishing today with the rest of the Sauvignon Blanc in block 1.
We are extremely happy with this vintage and believe it might very well become our best Sauvignon Blanc ever. Excited we look back at a season that has given us slow growth and berries high in perasines which are Sauvignon Blanc’s typical flavour components.
