Our 2013 Wine Harvest!
Great start to 2013 at Moerbei – vines all looking very healthy, plenty of water in the damns, dry and (relatively) cool conditions so far. The early red ripening grapes (like Pinotage) have just started to turn colour and all looks set for a good harvest. For those of you who read the label fully, the Moerbei (“mulberry tree”) has produced more fruit than ever this year – mulberry pie, jam and the like are being prepared in abundance – all delicious too!!
In the cellar we will be bottling a number of wines soon – the 2012 White Gold, 2011 Sable Shiraz and 2012 Testarosso; plus a wine called Director’s Reserve that is in very scarce supply! They are ready for bottling and this will free up space for the 2013 vintage wines coming in now – all exciting stuff!
Here’s to 2013 – let’s hope for a good one
