The weather played ball in the spring of 2022 when we planted our Bacchus vines, but like with any new vineyard, we had to wait a year before we could harvest any grapes.

The growing season of 2023 started off very promising, with a frost-free spring and excellent weather through the key flowering period in late June. The weather turned cooler and wetter as summer progressed, however, a heat spike in mid-September accelerated ripening and as luck would have it, nature and nurture aligned perfectly, and under the loving care of our passionate team, we harvested our first, small batch,

Gregarious Goose.

'Gregarious Goose', try saying that after a few!
