Harris Vineyard is located in western Oakville, just east of Branding Iron Vineyard. Nickel & Nickel’s five-acre block offers a southern exposure and soil of gravelly clay loam. Thinning passes allow each cluster to hang freely, optimizing the trellis system, and taking advantage of the warm climate to reach full maturity.
The theme of the 2004 growing season was ‘early’. Budbreak in this vineyard occurred in mid-March with bloom in early May. The weather was quite agreeable during the season with only a few heat spikes during the summer. The vineyard was thinned as normal and green fruit was dropped allowing each cluster to hang independently to ripen. Warmer weather in August elevated sugar levels as well as fruit flavors and we harvested at different times in early September.
