Fall Brings Colors, Ripe Fruit & Harvest

The Path To Ripening Begins

Picture
As we transition from Summer to Fall, the fruit starts to accumulate sugar, and finishes its transition to full ripening
Picture
Our Cabernet takes on a lush, rich color as we near harvest
Picture
The beauty of ripening clusters hanging on the vine
Picture
Open to light, but protected from the direct sun, these clusters slowly ripen
Picture
This is a fun time to taste the fruit as it nears harvest...like eating small pieces of fruit candy...rich in sugar and flavor
Picture
Our Chardonnay takes on a rich, golden hue as it nears perfection

From The Vineyard To The Winery

Picture
The basal leaves start to turn color, their job finished as the fruit near ripeness

It is hard work, as the picking bins are brought off our steep hillside on a small trailer, and then transferred to Macro Bins

A bin of hand harvested fruit sits on the ground waiting to be dumped into half ton Macro bins for transport to the winery

This is a 24 ton load of Carneros Chardonnay loaded up and being tied down for its journey to the winery. Not Wicker Vineyards Chardonnay...this is five times our entire Chardonnay production on one truck

It's a multi-step process: Picking bins, to Macro bins, to the truck, to the winery
