Hopefully a harvest this year. We have replanted 75% of the vines due to failing/ faltering plants but what is left looks good. Just need healthy ripe berries and a bit of brix. Drinking some Danebury Vineyards Madeline Aungevine for inspiration

The late August rising sun is shining on our vineyard of Rondo vines. Vineyard is freshly mown, mulched and trimmed, ready for putting up the bird netting, as the grapes start to ripen. #IrishWine

Grapes grapes #grapes! Some of our dawn #harvest before the weather kicked off and bucketed it down. Transported to #Dublin for pressing and the initial stages of making #sparklingwine #champagne #wine #irishwine

On this beautiful autumn morning, we're gathering some of our special perry pears. These are a very special gorgeous golden variety, which makes a delicious refreshing, aromatic perry. #perry #PearChampagne #IrishWine #harvest

Rondo Grape's , fermentation in progress, no stalks , only grape's, we are doing a maceration on the skins , during initial ferment , this will last 4/10 days depending on the flow of the ferment, today we dropped from 1.79 to 1.69,' so realistically the end game is ,0.12

4 years in and the 2021 vintage sample flask off lees and in a glass! The rest will undergo a bit of methode traditionnelle to produce a sparkling wine and will be ready for Christmas 2023. Experiment completed - now to get planting more vines! #wine #ireland #vineyard

Proof of principle! First try at disgorging a young bottle of Madeleine Angevine. 7 months on bottle lees then 8g/l dosage. A bit cloudy as inpatient with settling and lost some fizz with dosgorgemet technique. Unbelievably, gratifyingly delicious! #wine #irishproduce #Cork

Great weather for grapevines! Madeleine Aungevine likely the dominant choice long term. Year 2 replacement vines getting there slowly. 2022 vintage on bottle lees. Chance meeting with Colm McCan of Ballymaloe House Hotel for the wine chat topped off a great bank hol. #wine #cork #ireland
