FROM THE CELLAR: A WORD FROM OUR WINEMAKER, CHRIS ALBRECHT
As vintners, we are constantly and acutely aware of prevailing weather patterns during harvest – a great deal of what ends up in your bottle of wine is determined by it. I am delighted to share that the 2025 harvest unfolded under near-perfect conditions: dry, moderate cool days with generous sunshine.
Although somewhat congested at times, vineyards were harvested timeously and at optimal ripeness levels. Fruit quality was immaculate throughout and not once was the vineyard team’s progress interrupted by heavy showers. Yields were healthy, yet balanced, adding to an already remarkable harvest.
This was the kind of harvest we dream about!
