The first couple tons of grapes have arrived!! We are starting the harvest of our Nouveau series. These wines are not crushed they go through what is called a Carbonic Maceration, this when the whole cluster is fermenting as whole. The Nouveau’s are meant to be drunk early and young. The purpose of this is to kick off the 2009 harvest year. There will be three wines in this series and the Muscat grapes were the first to arrive followed by Syrah. Stay tuned for updates on the Nouveau series and when the event releasing these wines will be held. I’ll give you a little hint, it’s in mid November!
