That time of year when you need a wand to make 7.5 barrels appear miraculously — or spend days accommodating all the final bits as separated as best can be managed. All I am saying today is Give Pais a half dozen extra barrels — the oldest ones you can find... #gwcotruquilemu

I know many have a fascination with carbonic maceration, and I know there are some terrific wines made this way, but for us it the hipsters new oak, it tends to homogenize wines taking away their sense of place and well lends a taste of candy floss when over done. But there are other reasons that whole bunches work namely: stems. We love the tannins that come from the lignified stems of old vines so instead of whole cluster we simply re-include them after de-stemming. And here it is in real life #gwcoharvest

Gamela / basket #2 on your virtual harvest tour atop your gamela. (Small berry Cab Franc so about 34 baskets to a bin and about 9 bins a in a day with the full posse of 9 working a regular day. Raoul, one of three Canasteros, will carry about a third of the fruit today 1500+ kilos 15 kgs per basket at a time... ... meet Don Lucho aka Luchito y Don Alvaro next the truck in this part of your tour. #gwcolashiguerasvineyard #gwcoharvest2020 Careful with high shoots - the vineyard is rather ‘chascon’ without trellises in this corner.
Your virtual harvest continues with a ride in Itata / Guarilihue from a few days ago. Your trusted carrier Raoul will again take you across, and notice the berry size much bigger here yes? (This is Cargadora or Cinsault you guessed it!) You may ask why is Raoul in Itata? He is part of the team / posse who picks each and everyday with us. Our own pickers insure only the best fruit gets on the truck. And This year it has meant less contact between people and safer conditions. The team from Puico-Sauzal have been working with minimal interaction (and social distancing) with others this year to prevent risk. #gwcoharvest2020 #gwcocinsault #gwcosingleferments

I – A Long Years Journey in Two Parts
Vintage 2020 has been a vintage of challenges that began early in the growing year with cover crops beginning late, with tooling challenges cultivating, with dreadful Spring frosts in Truquilemu, and far too little rainfall period. It finished with some v-e-r-y warm days in Summer and then a special challenge for harvest.
garagewineco
I include a short video where you can see the original bud burned with frost and the extraordinary secondary growth. From a distance, one would not think this vineyard had had frost damage at all. This ad hoc reaction on the part of the plant does tend to disorganise the proper pruning of a vine, however.
Why are old vines better shock absorbers?
The elder farmers say that the vines drink deep where there is water not just from this year, but accumulated over many a year further down. A few years ago a French geologist spent the majority of his visit with us trying to calculate the time rainwater falling on the surrounding hills would take to get to the vines. Over the day I began to realise that his science was telling me the same thing– a very interesting visit by a geologist without a single fox-hole to see soil profile being dug.
When we say that the ploughmen farmers are stewards of these old vines this is what we are getting at. Plant cycles/vintages are not yearly endeavours, but much longer. A neglected vineyard does not come back in a year just as a proper wine is not made in a single year. A bottle may be made of this year’s grapes, and may indeed have fermented aged and perhaps even have been bottled this same year, but it is the product of a far longer history. I digress. Let’s get back to 2020 and what was the result of these conditions, at least what we know so far…. … and what novel things did we do this harvest.

Proper farming is about more than just the vineyard. Threshing wheat in Puico. Don Colorindo and Don José have collected and re-sewn seeds on these hills since they began helping their father as teenagers in the 1940’s. Wheat skiing anyone? #gwcofieldworks #industrialislessfun

Hay más que solo viñedo! Trilla de trigo en Puico. Don Colorindo y Don José han recolectado y vuelto a coser semillas en estas colinas desde que comenzaron a ayudar a su padre cuando eran adolescentes en la década de 1940. ¿Esquí de trigo alguien?
