Harvest 2022 – Time is of the essence – join us on Monday 10th October!

Harvest 2022, time is of the essence, join us on Monday 10th October.

But who decides when it’s time to harvest?

Ultimately, the decision is made on the sugar and acid readings from the grapes. 

Some would do a dance or even chant, at Southcott Vineyard we let the bubbles speak, we let the fizz whisper to the vines.

The Fizz murmurs in the glass: ”grapes, grapes, wake up and soak up the sun so for it, the Veraison will be complete.”                                       

Slowly, we see the magic happening, and the grapes start to ripen. Ripening is on its way with the colours changing, and deepening!

The harvest is done by hand, and you can participate, during Harvest week we welcome all our lovely local pickers and volunteers at Southcott. 

Everybody works hard to the sound of people talking and laughing. Sarah provides a light buffet lunch.

Join us on Monday 10th October, starting time: 09.00 am.
