The vines are dormant but great things are happening under ground and in the bottles

A few pics from the files.

Nearly Finished Pruning

BRRRR, winter has brought a lovely snowfall just 4 days ago which is only just melting into the soil. We have had some nice pruning days and now have a big pile of tangled prunings. Last years smaller vintage is sitting quietly in the winery, being tasted every month.

A view of our table at the mid winter party, with a house full of 12 guests plus 2 who drove back to Hartley.

And I almost forgot, our clever cows have started calving, 5 out of 60 so far
