Harvest in full swing for Vino pH

Even though it is only the 10th of February, we are in the thick of harvest. It was an exceptionally dry season in the Swartland, so things were quick to ripen.

It kicked off with the picking for the 2026 PhD Pet Nat which would be a co-fermentation of Chenin, Grenache blanc and Verdelho.

Palomino came in next with beautiful yellow tannins in the skins!

We also got two new ceramic pots from Clayver!

The Barbera was picked today and sealed up in tank to start the carbonic ferment!

There will be a few surprises… but more about that next time!
