\ncomplicated year, others may say it has been special, either way it has
\ncertainly been a difficult one, but beautiful overall! \u00a0Late maturities, periods of humidity and rain
\nin September meant we had to weigh up the lack of maturity against the risk of
\nrot...There is an old saying in Pibarnon, we only
\nharvest when the grapes are ripe...So, we eliminate the risk of rot by
\nremoving the superfluous leaves by hand from around the bunch as these retain
\nmoisture, and therefore leave the fruit exposed to the air and sunshine so that
\nit dries properly and matures... The gamble paid off, no hail came, the sun took
