On Monday April, Gilbert & I picked, stomped and pressed another 15 gallons worth of Chardonnay. The fruit is beautiful, about 20.5 brix and nicely balanced with pretty good hang time. (My acidity measurements were less than precise so I won't try to quantify that; we'll just see how everything turns out.) Next year I will look to market both the Chard and the Cab Franc. We have about 1.5 acres of each, and our 20 gallons didn't even put a dent in it. Some neighbors are going to come by and pick as much of the remaining Chard as they want before the birds get it. We also moved the netting over to the Cab Franc.
