Pick of the Day

The vineyard team have been up early (1am start anyone?) and getting on with the picking before anymore rain hits Orange. Chardonnay and Riesling blocks are now safely in the winery, but with more still to get picked.

Weatherwise this week has been tempremental to say the least - hot sunny days filled with storms and heavy rain in the afternoon or evening - not what the grapes are wanting right now!

Mark and his team have been maturity testing the Bellview chardonnay & gewurz grapes today with the aim to get all the fruit off as soon as possible before more heavy rain forecast for next week.
