“During the grape harvest, our day starts in the vineyards. Tasting the grapes is the best way of assessing ripeness and setting the harvest date. It’s the most difficult decision to make, whether to wait or begin the harvest. It depends a lot on the individual block, the grape variety, the weather outlook but most of all, it depends on what we believe to be the best expression of that terroir” Susan Frazier and Adam Bell, Winemakers Whispering Brook.
