Norman Hardie Harvest 2009
Jennifer, Sophia and myself had a terrific day helping Norman Hardie with his harvest on Sunday. We arrived at the winery at 10:00 am and were put to work right away. We started the day tying back vine netting and then we mo...ved on to picking Pinot Noir grapes. The grapes were in perfect condition bursting with juice and showing lots of sugar and a really deep colour. The picking was very easy with no berry-rot or bird bites on the bunches. There were so few quality issues that Norm decided not to use a sorting table and just take the whole bunches right to the crusher/de-stemmer. I can't wait to try the wine which will show up in his County Pint Noir 2009 and Cuvee L Pinot Noir 2009.
