In the last month and a half, while we have been enjoying the festive season break, the vines have been working hard to ensure that your next festive season will not be a dry one, well not on the wine front at least!
The bunches have filled out nicely and as you can see, the ripening process has just begun. This photo shows the first signs of veraison in our Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the time when the hard green berries in red varieties begin to colour and soften. White grape varieties soften and become slightly translucent which is a lot more difficult to capture in a photo.
I will post a follow up photo in a few days so that you can follow the process but at this stage we are still about two months away from harvesting the Cabernet Sauvignon which is generally the last block to ripen on South Hill.
