I didn’t take this pic - I wish I had - but the lovely owner gave me permission to share. Taken on the Winter Solstice this morning at the National Arboretum in a frosty Canberra ❤️

Savagnin, chardonnay, fiano, sagrantino parts of #v25 all in and looking good. Montepulciano this week the final pick to come.

Vintage in go mode. Savagnin picked for sparkles on Tuesday, about to run bins out to Hilltops for Fiano to come off next week. And firing up the cooker for more input to the balsamic line. #v25
