Harvest has come to a close and we can all breathe a bit
before the March weddings arrive. All in all considering the drought this year
and last, it was a good harvest. The quantities were higher than we expected and
the quality was good.
Once again we had Andy our associate wine maker here for
three weeks to run the harvest, which he did with his usual skill, humour,
liveliness and thank heavens, a sense of order. And with him this time came the
other half of the team, Becky his wife who added her hard work, her forthrightness
and her delightful laugh to the mix. Together Andy and Johan made all the big
decisions and the team of contracted pickers, wonderful overseas volunteers and
our staff made it all possible. Special mention goes to Charles and Doubt
members of our staff who Andy has been training and who look after the wine
throughout the year. They did a wonderful job last year and are as keen as ever
for the year to come.
Thanks to you all
