Our 2019 Harvest at a Glance

We are currently growing 6 different kinds of grapes, but that doesn't necessarily limit one to just 6 different kinds of wines. This year, we were able to harvest small amounts of Auxerrois, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Our sixth varietal is Barbera, which was too young this year to lay down any canes.
Here are the harvest numbers at a glance.

Variety	Harvest Date	Weight - Pounds	Volume of Juice	Brix	pH	TA
Auxerrois	9/23/2019	636	50 gallons	19.6	3.26	7.4 g/L
Chardonnay	9/28/2019	291	26 gallons	21.5	3.16	9.3 g/L
Chenin Blanc	10/14/2019	3930	280 gallons	21.6	3.06	13.5 g/L
Chenin Blanc	11/19/2019	50	3.5 gallons	25	3.52	11.2 g/L
Cabernet Franc	10/25/2019	377	30 gallons	23	3.32	11.3 g/L

This year, we are attempting to make a very small amount of late harvest Chenin Blanc. For us, Chenin Blanc is a very versatile grape and we have made a pétillant naturel (pét nat) a type of sparkling wine in the ancient style where the lees are left in the bottle, as well as two types of still wines, a dry style and a Sussreserve style where unfermented juice from the current season is added back to the fermented wine.
Last year, we made a rosé from the Cabernet Sauvignon and this year, we are making a still wine from the grape.
With the exception of the late harvest Chenin Blanc, all the other wines have finished fermentation and are now in their "ageing" stage. This allows us to turn our attention to other tasks that we have left undone.
