Harvest 2016 - 24 Mar 16
The sun shone on our first day of harvest for 2016. The Pinot Gris from Defiance was the lucky first crop this year - coming safely in over the first day and a half of picking. The fruit looked great and Pete is looking forward to making the second Defiance Pinot Gris - the 2015 vintage was a sell out!! We have a great team, with people from France, Germany, the Netherlands and Chile. It is a very busy time for Fiona but as usual it is very satisfying to see the fruition of a hard year's work in the vineyard. Sadly, Graeme's state of health prevents him, Gillian and Lucy from being here - we miss them - a feeling that is undoubtedly mutual.
