"..one of the best vintages this region has ever seen!"
Our Viticulturist Matt reports on 2024 Vintage. "...The near-perfect conditions allowed us to pick our grapes when perfectly ripe, while the cooler evening conditions preserved the trademark Marlborough freshness and acidity."
Harvesting our 2024 Marlborough grapes
We sent our Summerhouse gal Lois back into the vines this week to join our hand-picking crew as they harvest the first of our Pinot Noir for vintage 2024! In a quest to discover what makes the best wine, Lois learned about harvesting by hand and machine. Read on to join her.
I switched screen time, for green vines
Our Summerhouse gal Lois switched her days in the office for some time in the vines. She spent the day helping our viticulturist, Matt with yield estimates as we work to understand what the 2024 vintage will look like.
Have a read about Lois' day in the vines.
