The harvest continues…

In terms of grapes picked we are definitely on the home stretch now. Most grapes have now been picked and processed. Pinot Noirs from Waipara and Central Otago are in, Riesling and Pinot Gris from Waipara are also in and in varying stages of fermentation. There is just a little Riesling left on the vine and, from my own patch, a little Syrah. Another week or two should do it. The weather to date has been amazing – warm and dry – so long may it last.

Glad to hear that you have good weather. I am puzzled by this road sign, was the picture taken in NZ? If so, why the use of French?

There wouldnt be too many motorists in New Zealand who could understand that sign! Maybe that acounts for the unusually high number of road accidents and near-misses experienced by grape pickers in this country. Either that or this picture was taken in France! Allez les vendangeurs!
