Getting ready for vintage 2026

It is the end of February and we are experiencing very warm dry conditions here at Taradale. The grapes are several weeks behind last year and we are expecting harvest in the mid to late March.

Overall, the quality potential looks excellent. Fruit set was good with bunch and berry sizes smaller than the first two vintages.

We are preparing to put the nets out as we head toward veraison, expected in mid February.
