Starting with the red harvest

Finally after a long wait and much anticipation we are now harvesting our red grapes. Have a look at the Poplars trees on the second picture left. All leaves have virtually fallen. Last week's rains gave us another fright and a scare. The risk of botrytis was though blown away by the very strong south easterly wind over the weekend and we are once again lucky of looking forward into another beautiful 3 years of making stunning wine from the grapes harvested today. The grapes you see here are Shiraz grapes.
