HARVEST HAS STARTED

Today we brought in our organic Chardonnay for Cape classic (champagner), which has to come in rather neutral and early. The team of Grove Jordaan, who did last years harvest as well came thankfully in on short notice and cleaned the block in one day. It was a difficult harvest as our Chardonnay block had been hard hit by downy mildew. It wasn't a good year for organic farming, at least here on Oude Wellington. It is a pity because at the beginning of the season the block was promising a very good harvest. The picture shows Grove (left) and Sydney.
But we also have good news. The new Currant Abbey is in the bottle and after approval and labelling will be available again.
