2022 Auxerrois Harvest

Our first harvest of this year, our Auxerrois was held on Sunday, September 25. We had 11 friends who came to lend us a hand and in 5 hours our friends harvested the entire crop. The crop fit into 126 yellow lugs which were stacked on 4 palettes. The palettes were taken over to Jonathan Edwards Winery where the harvested grapes spent an uneventful evening while at midnight, a thunder and lightning storm rolled through our region.

We took the numbers for the harvest and it was the best so far! Here is the information from 2019 - 2022:

On Monday, September 26, the harvest was pressed as whole clusters and the juice ended up in four 75-gallon stainless steel barrels to cold settle. The next few days will see us racking the juice and inoculating it.
