Between Two Rocks gathers no moss while rolling confidently into 2010
What a wonderful start to 2010. 2010 is our year. Earthworks are completed and we are waiting on construction to start on the new cellar door, and winery building. The last six years may have seemed to take forever but like a snow ball once it has momentum it is hard to stop.
Last winter saw some very good frosts and pruning went well. The hot spring resulted in good bud burst although summer did throw in a couple of curved balls; hail on Friday the 13th and very little rain. We are grateful though, as the hail did little damage and the plants did exceptionally well during the dry and our timing with placing the nets was perfect.
The best news was our first harvest of the 2010 vintage, Thursday the 7th of January. We picked a lovely crop of Verdelho and Voignier chosen by Dave to be his first early harvest blend and by sampling straight after we knew he was on to a good thing! AND is it great. A natural early harvest, lower alcohol wine both vegan and vegetarian friendly.
Ironically the day after, Dave delivered our last box of 2009 Verdelho to a frequent valued costumer. The loyal support from 'Ann from Toowoomba' secured the first box of 2009 red, looking forward to hearing her thoughts. Pre orders have resulted in only two hundred bottles of 2009 red vintage being available for sale.
