Astrolabe 2009 Harvest Begins

- Publication date: 26 March 2009

The Astrolabe Wines 2009 harvest began today with our first pick of Pinot Gris grapes coming in to the winery from the Awatere Valley.

All of the fruit that came in today was machine harvested and in great condition, with our first hand picked fruit expected to come in tomorrow.  The weather conditions in Marlborough at the moment are fantastic with warm days and cool nights predicted for the next few days, so far it is shaping to be a brilliant harvest.
