We started picking a couple of nights ago, first time weve picked iN January
, this is because the crops are light and we've had a classic year, wet winters, mild spring and a few hot days in summer. 2012 will go down as a classic. On Sunday night it was still in the mid twenties around midnight when Nadal and Jocovik were playing their epic final at the Australian Open, I was picking Chardonnay around midnight when a shower of rain came through, the fruit tasted like pineapple and with a warm night and a shower of rain it felt more like Asia than McLaren Vale. We'll be picking the Savignan for Jacko's Leap in a couple of weeks, drink up, drink safe

Hi dear Angels,
Here we are, in few more weeks ( closer to March 7th) we will be starting a new harvest, we will start with the Sauvignon Blanc, and after that all our reds, Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Syrah, Carignan and we will be picking grapes for at least a couple of months.
But, before harvest starts, we need to prepare the cellar to receive the new grapes and we will be bottling part of our wines 2011, and there is a great new! Because next month we will be bottling our first Carménère, and is The Carménère for the Winemaker of the year!
That means, you will be receiving this wine in the beginning of May!!!

The Carménère will be just 9.000 bottles, is a limited edition and we think will be a Great Wine!
Also we are bottling: Pinot Noir 2011 and our Cabernet Sauvignon-Carménère, great wines from a great vintage!
Hope you enjoy them!
Best Regards & Un fuerte Abrazo
