Last Wednesday marked the first “official” day of vintage 2011, with the first harvest of the season being our Chenin Blanc.

A stroll through the vineyards
With vintage just around the corner, and a lovely sunny afternoon to bask in, I thought it was a good a time as any to get out of the office (camera in hand) to see how things are shaping up.
Whilst we have had some unseasonal weather this year, I’m happy to report things are certainly looking good out there.
