The most important decision in winemaking is deciding when to harvest.
The key to an excellent harvest begins with the choices we make in the vineyard. Hot weather patterns, freak rainstorms, and even hail have been known to make an appearance during this critical Napa Valley season. Pick too early, and you might have underripe fruit. Wait too long, and you risk fruit rot.
While we can never control the whims of Mother Nature, we can follow our instincts and trust our winemaking team to bring in the best fruit available- rain or shine! (Here's hoping for shine, though...)
We encourage you to follow our journey to harvest this year on Instagram and see August through the eyes of a Napa winemaker. The most exciting time of year is about to begin!
