Chardonnay Harvest.

Yesterday the Chardonnay grapes were finally picked bringing to a close the harvest for this year.



After sorting them for under ripe and spoilt grapes there are three pounds to add to the thirteen pounds of Phoenix and the few Madeleine Angevine grapes already picked.

This should produce six bottles of blended white wine. Quite good considering what a poor growing season we had this year.

The red grapes have been a write off. A blackbird got in under the net covering the Brant grapes, eating most of them while the Regent grapes are too few to even mention.
