First Harvest of Verjuice

Verjuice Viognier harvested on 15 January. Lovely big bunches, still sharp and green but with a number of pearly grapes. Our Viognier coped with the 41 degree day ... many other growers didn't have such luck.
We picked by hand in the cool of the moring, a very early pick and more in the style of 'Agraz', a sour tang. 6 degrees Baume - low sugar and high acid. Crushed and bottled a small batch, holding back some for blending for the Premium Verjuice range.
