Halfway through Harvest 2016!
watch out! it is going over!
Hey there, I wanted to give you a quick report of how things are going around here. I don’t have long–if you look closely at that picture, you’ll see that malbec there is about to “boil over” and ferment right on out of that barrel!
This week I’ve got 1.5 tons of malbec fermenting from Temple, TX and .75 tons of merlot from our Salado vineyard fermenting. We have already fermented the chardonnay, sangiovese and tempranillo.
So what’s left? CABERNET SAUVINGNON! Next weekend, Saturday, August 20, our friends at 3 Texans Vineyard will harvest their cab. Follow the link and give them a holler if you would like to harvest grapes with them. They are near Temple, Texas.
I haven’t even scheduled the harvest of our cab yet. The weather is calling for a bit cooler temperatures, so hopefully that will help the plants ripen those grapes some more. I will let you know soon, but probably harvest August 27 or September 3, 2016.
Well, that’s all for now, I’ve got some punching to do!
