For the 2009 vintage, we
picked verdelho on February 22nd and albarino on March 1st. Yields
were suppressed by some extremely hot days, but quality is again
excellent. It was bottled on July 22nd.
We picked our first tempranillo on March 8th, and it was
bottled on February 4th 2010. It has received excellent private
reviews prior to the release on March 22.
For the 2010 vintage, verdelho, “Savarino” , and tempranillo were
all picked on February 7th. We are very fortunate to have
been able to pick in spite of very extreme weather. While our volume
will be well below 2009, the quality is very good. Our first
graciano was picked on March 9th. Again due to the
weather, quantities will be very limited.
The growing awareness and popularity of savagnin (then albarino) in Australia was
