To the right are some photos from our first vintage. We were expecting to get about 3 tonne (3,000 kg) of fruit but ended up with about 1.8 tonne. The kangaroos and birds ate the rest. Each one of the white bins that you see in the photos holds 0.5 tonne. 2009 was a fairly wet year so this has resulted in a lighter style wine.
We didn't pick the Shiraz in 2010 due to the amount of rain in February which stalled the ripening of the fruit. However, we got the Verdelho off on Australia Day and this has turned out to be a huge wine (13.5% Alc/Vol).
