I paid a quick visit to the vineyards yesterday and things are progressing very well. We have new plantings which we will only see in 2014, new vines coming on line this year and, of course, some of our old favourites. We are anticipating high yields this year so we have had to thin a vast amount of fruit from the vines. Here are some photos from the visit.

Thinning the Zinfandel vineyard

Sauvignon Blanc in Safsufa


Barbera in Safsufa too

By the looks of things, we will be harvesting very soon...
