We did it! Harvest 2015 began at daybreak on August 20th, three days earlier than last year, and just under a week before school started. As the sun began to rise in the sky, two picking crews started work on our vines, ultimately bringing in 8.8 tons of chardonnay grapes. The harvest was healthy and the vigor of growth dramatically improved over to last year. Farmer Justin's favorite quote from the picking crew boss: "These grapes look great! It's obviously not an organic vineyard..."
Ha! We're so pleased to send our (organic) grapes to Ca'Momi this year, and to the wonderful winemaker (and really sweet man), Stefano Migotto. It will be exciting to see (and one day taste) where our grapes ultimately end up.
