Harvest Reports
September 29, 2007, was our
first small harvest of Pinot Noir, totaling 1224 lbs of
fruit. Our harvest morning was both rainy and sunny, with
some beautiful clouds thrown in the mix – very much a
typical Oregon day. We enlisted the help of friends and
neighbors and were done within a couple of hours. Our 2007
Garden Shed Red Pinot Noir was released over Memorial Day
weekend, 2009. A very small bottling of the Pinot Gris, 400
lbs of fruit picked on September 28, 2007, was made for
personal consumption only and was a very tasty and fruity
first vintage.
On October 14, 2008 we harvested 2,375
lbs of Pinot Noir fruit. No rain this year. It was sunny and
beautiful. Again, we enjoyed the help of friends and
neighbors. 604 pounds of Pinot Gris fruit was harvested on
October 19, 2008. The 2008 Pinot Gris was released over
Memorial Day Weekend 2010. The Pinot Noir will remain in
barrel until the fall of 2009. Assuming the wine cooperates,
the 2008 vintage of our pinot noir will be released over
Memorial Day weekend in 2009.
On October 8, 2009 we
harvested 2,640 lbs of Pinot Noir fruit. On October 11,
2009, 730 pounds of |
Pinot Gris fruit was harvested. Both harvest days were
sunny and beautiful. Harvest was accomplished with the help
of 12 hardworking friends.
