Winemakers Note

Here we go again – the silly season

The 2012 Vintage has begun. Time to experiment with different yeasts, winemaking techniques and people. This year two americans have joined the Burnbrae team to help with vintage, Hannah and Chris. Both are based in Oregon so I will be interogating them both when we recieve our Pinot Noir. I am sure there will be a frank and open discussion of views. We also have a New Zealander working for us, enough said.

The season has started slowly with many overcast days delaying the fruit ripening process. At this easrly stage I think the most promising variety this year is Cabernet Sauvignon.
