We just bottled the 2010 reds- Pinot, Shiraz and North Face.  The wines look great, with their generous mouth feel and exciting structure. Always something to look forward to in the wine industry, since we work a year a head of the retail sales.

I should really mentioned that since we have planted the vines in 1994 we’ve never experienced such a mild and humid February. Lucky I had a swim in Barry’s pool last week because it looks like summer is over and perhaps a challenging Autumn ahead, especially for those with big Cabernet or Shiraz crops, because for those who don’t know, the more grapes on the vine the longer it takes to ripen those grapes and sometimes well,  time runs out and the cold and dark winter days set in.

It should be a very exciting vintage for cool climate varieties such as Pinot and Chardonnay, for those who have fruit of course.

Autumn is a great time to visit the hills just out of Melbourne, so get in your car and come and see us, the country side looks gorgeous, the air is so clean you will be able to smell again and your taste buds will get invigorated by few Wedgetail wines.  

See you soon -in the country.
