Picking is a workout! |
Grape Harvest, First Block
Although the early morning sky at 5 a.m. was full of stars, by 7 a.m. the fog softened the heat of the past week, and the picking was cool. Two and a half tons per acre yield on the old block of chardonnay, a good harvest!
Each bin is about half a ton. These two bins represent the fruit of a little less than half an acre. |
