Yay for Mother Nature! 

By Asim | Blog | Comments Off on Yay for Mother Nature!  | 19 February, 2016 | 2

After giving us all more than a few stressful moments over the last couple of months the weather has been as kind as it possibly could be for this time of the year.  The 30mm of rain at the end of January worked wonders to refresh the vines and the subsequent run of moderate warm weather and really cool nights (I even had to break out a sweater one early vintage morning last week) has helped our precious grapes ripen at a most genteel pace.

This has meant a well spaced run of picking that has seen our Tempranillo coming in (and looking beautiful), followed by some of our earlier Shiraz blocks with great flavour, colour and tannin.  Much more Shiraz is due for next week along with our Merlot and then it will be on to the Johnny Come Lately’s of the grape world: Cabernets, Grenache and Mataro.  All is looking good, let’s hope Mother Nature continues to be kind!

A great time to start a blog at Hemera Estate

4th February 2016 

What a great time to start a blog at Hemera Estate.  We are well into harvest for 2016 and so there are plenty of things happening to update you on.

We picked most of our whites last week with the Chardonnay in two lots (one early for sparkling and one for table wine), the Semillon and a third of our Riesling coming in.  We also picked the first crop from our brand new, fresh as a daisy Marsanne block!    Across the board the quality on these whites is excellent with crisp fresh flavours, balanced sugar levels that will ensure elegant, lower alcohol wines and great character.  Most are all now fermenting away and being kept nice and cool by our lovely cooling system which I have to be nice to – it’s been a bit temperamental recently!

After the whites came in we did have a bit of rain which was much needed for the remaining reds and has re-invigorated the vines and kept our sugar levels balanced while we sit and wait for the wonderful flavours to fully develop.  I think we will be picking Tempranillo next week with some Shiraz likely to start coming in towards the end of the week.  And that’s when you know vintage has really started, lots of hard work making red wines from then on! 

Until next time…

Cheers, Alex MacClelland
