Harvest started off fast this year and came to an end last week! 🍇 We’re still hard at work in the winery, making sure these incredible grapes become equally incredible wines. Here are a few highlights from the 2024 harvest season. Grateful for my dedicated harvest team, who have been working tirelessly, and our amazing growers for producing outstanding fruit—the 2024 vintage is going to be amazing! 😀 🍷

Last week, I began harvest at the winery, starting with pressing Verdelho for the @makerwine white blend! The juice tastes fantastic and will produce delicious wine for next year. I’m thrilled to kick off the season with a new winery space, upgraded equipment and some exciting new wines! 👏
