Bountiful harvest keeps us busy but is a brilliant start to our autumn
Our harvest is in and what a harvest it was this year! In total, we picked a whopping 24,247kg of grapes. The weather conditions for 2025 meant that fruit was in abundance. We picked for seven full days and finished on Saturday 27th September. It was also a very early harvest, last year we did not start picking until October 4th.
This year, we picked both our Pinot Noir and our Bacchus grapes, which were not harvested last year, but the breakdown in figures still demonstrates that all varietals did incredibly well, with most beating the total tonnage for the entire vineyard in 2024, which was just 3,749kg.
The tonnage for 2025:
- Bacchus – 5,215kg
- Seyval Blanc – 4,627kg
- Phoenix – 6,769kg
- Pinot Noir – 3,509kg
- Regent & Rondo – 4,127kg
Total: 24,247kg
We want to thank everyone who came to help with harvest this year. The grapes are now in the winery, and we are looking forward to tasting and blending in the Three Choirs lab next spring.
