Blushing Beauties
Oh – they’re starting to blush. Just as lovely as can be! And, this is such a significant event in the vineyard that there’s a name for it: veraison.
They’re still awfully sour, but this beginning blush tells us that the sugar is on its way up and the acid is on its way down. Before you know it Geoff , our Winemaker, will be gathering samples for tasting and analysis and that first load of grapes will be knocking on our door! Here’s to the 2010 harvest!
