Vintage Notes

We received 1/3 of our annual rainfall in 2021. The spring was mild and spring flowers were early. This was followed by a heatwave in May, June & July of 90-105˚F + temps. This brought on an early and quick harvest starting on August 12th and ending October 20th. Despite the drought, our sheep were busy adding organic matter to the rows, to aid in soil moisture retention. The berries were small, but oh so concentrated. We are all looking forward to the delicious release of this vintage in a few years.
