The Pinot Noir is welcoming the September sun and beginning to show the first signs of veraison, where the red grapes develop their colour. We're hoping for continued warmth ahead of the late October harvest.

Flowering has begun, marking the countdown to harvest—approximately 100 days away! We are crossing our fingers for continued warm weather as the crop looks very promising this year.

The wild flower meadow is in bloom! With the cold spring wind now gone, the vineyard has perfect growing conditions for what is shaping up to be a bumper crop of grapes this season.

Our 2021 Chardonnay has earned a prestigious Silver medal at the IEWA awards, showcasing its English elegance with French oak-aged complexity. Bursting with orchard fruit, peach, and zesty grapefruit, it’s perfect for summer dining, especially with local white fish. Independent reviews praise its crisp acidity, mineral structure, and subtle complexity, making it a standout English Chardonnay. Pair it with our Sparkling Rosé for a celebratory touch.

The vines are racing along! After a slow start, sunshine has encouraged the buds to burst into leaf. Next up: bud rubbing to improve the potential of the remaining growth.

The vines have finally broken through after a cold, wet spring! Next week promises more seasonal weather, allowing the vineyard to start catching up for what should still be a great harvest.
