Vintage 2019
This year’s harvest was one of the best in recent years. The picking crew started the harvest on March 19 by picking fruit in the terraces which was destined for Twelfth Night’s Rosé. The picking continued until April 13 and yielded a total of 176 tons of fruit. Arié and Max, two of Twelfth Night’s principal owners were on hand to witness the harvest and lend a helping hand. Arié was even spotted driving a forklift!
Our international crew hailed from France, Italy, New Zealand and the United States and worked hard to bring the fruit in before frost set in. There was lots of sunshine for the picking but also many very cold mornings. As is tradition, the crew celebrated the end of harvest with a costume party.
Once the fruit was picked, it was transported to the winery where Antony Worch, Twelfth Night’s winemaker and his team got to work making our fabulous Pinot Noir and other wines.
Thanks again to the our full-time staff and our harvest crew for making the 2019 one of the best ever!
