The end of harvest
We filled our last vat with grapes yesterday, Syrah and Touriga Nacional for Duas Pedras, which came in a 14 baumé and pH 3,57. Ideal. This has been a near perfect harvest and I only wish that we could make more wine in a year like this. For those still picking, the weather is ideal with temperatures in the mid-20s, clear skies and a cool north wind blowing. It looks to stay that way for the next week at least. Last night we held our adiafa, a 'thank you' dinner given to those who have helped us with the harvest.
