2009 crop all picked!

On Sunday 22nd March, the pinot noir was picked - about 50kgs in total (we estimate a further 13kgs would have been eaten by birds!). Baume was high 13.5, but the ph was also high (3.0). Ended up being about 25 litres.

On Sunday 29th March, the cabernet and shiraz were picked. About 100kgs in total. Baume was 12.5, and ph about 3.0.

Should be a good year, even if it is on the acidic side.
