Well we have survived all the festivities of Christmas and New Years and now our vintage has begun. Last night at 8:00pm we starter to harvest our Chardonnay which come in at 12.5 baume.
Vintage has started early again this year and the Chardonnay is the first to be picked. We took in 4 tonne of grapes which is a good yield from the vineyard. Lou thinks this vintage will be just like the bumper crop we had in 2002.
This year we will be ageing the Chardonnay in oak for a few months are will be looking to release our 2010 Leone Chardonnay in April this year.
Next up Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, we are looking at a hot week which will ripen the grapes and add some fruitiness.
