Bon Voyage with Nuits Saint Georges
Tuesday, 12 July 2011 02:29
This week Ray has gone to Pakistan to climb really big mountains so we had a glass of wine with lunch on Friday to farewell him. The Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru 'Les Prulieres' 2008 turned out to be an appropriate benchmark. Light in colour and density, the wine was very floral and fruit driven, with lovely soft, chalky tannins. Considering the similar seasons of Burgundy in 2008 and Geelong in 2011 it is good to see a cold, wet year is still able to produce clean and complex Pinot Noir.
Mietta Pinot Noir starts veraison
Monday, 16 January 2012 21:50
We have just seen the first signs of veraison in our vineyard with the Mietta and other blocks of Pinot Noir starting to change from green to red. We have also used the irrigation in the last week for the first time in two years. The vineyard looks great at the moment and all signs are pointing to 2012 being a great year in Geelong.
Olive Picking
Friday, 22 July 2011 01:57
This week we have been picking the olives from the trees around the winery and vineyard. It has been cold and rainy, and is late in the year for olive picking, but we hope it will be worth it. We are pickling some of the olives and having most of them cold pressed for extra virgin olive oil. The results are all for personal use but there may be some tastes available at the cellar door when they are finished.

Autumn Lambs
Wednesday, 30 May 2012 02:40
Winter is definately on its way, as you can see from the fog in the vineyard this morning, but we are also finding some Autumn lambs among the vines at the moment. With all of the wines settling down for Winter we have started pruning and vineyard maintenance around Lethbridge. At least the sheep will do the mowing for us over the next few months.
