HARVEST 2008- LAST RIPE CONTROL

Last week we walked through the vineyards to watch the latest developments on the grapes to decide on the best conditions for harvesting our grapes. According to our enologist and agronomist we will most likely pick up our grapes on the week of april 14 (Syrah & Malbec) and the week after (Cabernet), depending on the climatic conditions. On our vineyard there will be approx 18.000 kgs of Malbec and 15.000 kgs of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot.
