Early inspections of fruit now well past budding high in the Maipo. The true maturing season has clearly started late this year. This is not an indication of 2010 quality nor complexity, but rather just a delay in the growing season’s beginning. Temperatures have subsequently been cooler than most years but hot peaks have struck late in December– and the streetcorner Santas have literally baked in their Christmas cheer. The 2009’s from this vineyard (at almost 1000 metres) are tasting well and this year’s vineyard prep has been ideal.

We have been out on various occasions to inspect a Cabernet in the Upper Maipo and believe we have found a new high-end mountain Cab fruit to work with. The bonus is seems is that there is a Cabernet Franc worth working with as well. This fruit is closer to the river Maipo with a spectacular backdrop of the Andes. The skins are think and flavourful the seeds almost ripe so we shall pick the final week of April.
In other news we are going to be making a Syrah this year from Maipo– the extreme south of Maipo near the coast beyond Melipilla. We also have our eyes on some Petit Verdot for blending down there as well.
