First Day of 2008 Harvest!
September 24th, 2008Today marks the start of Airfield’s 2008 grape harvest! Harvest is a little late this year due to our long winter and cool spring. As long as we don’t encounter damaging frosts over the next two months, we are confident that this will be a excellent vintage. We are tasting wonderful fruit flavors in the vineyards.
The first grapes off the vine this year were our Gewurztraminer. We have been growing this variety for about 25 years, but always selling the grapes to other wineries. The 2008 vintage will be the first Gewurztraminer wine that we produce at Airfield Estates.
