Vineyard Update

As summer gives way to autumn, we’re putting all our energy into the green harvest—removing any clusters that aren’t absolutely perfect. By reducing the crop, we help the vines focus their strength on the very best grapes.

Meet Clyde. Our resident vineyard Emu loves his new plunge pool. When he is big enough he will roam the vineyard. He loves juicy grapes. 😬
