We began harvest this week by picking Merlot, Malbec and Pinot noir for our Hanna Rose. At around 20% sugar the fruit is perfect for our Provencal style Rose. The Rose fruit is typically picked a week before anything else, allowing us to spoil it into perfection before harvest becomes more like a grapey ,chaste version of Hiroshii Teshigahara's classic black and white film , "Woman of the Dunes".
But lest you get the wrong idea; I borrow from another director's film (this one now a winery owner) : " God how I love it so".
