Vicarage Lane's 2010 Sauvignon Blanc crop was machine harvested on the 11th of April, yielding 99.23 tonnes of fruit.
As the plants in the St Leonard’s Road vineyard are of two different ages, the fruit tends to reach maturity at slightly different times, so the
crop was again harvested in two batches to obtain the optimum flavours from each.
The harvested fruit was then de-stemmed and pressed at Spring Creek Vintners, just a few kilometres from the vineyard, producing 76,500 litres of juice
which has been crafted into two batches of Vicarage Lane's 2010 Sauvignon Blanc under the watchful eye of renowned New Zealand winemaker Alan McCorkindale.
Initial bottling of the finished wine will take place in the end of June, and after rigorous export testing to ensure the wine meets New Zealand's
high export standards, the first export shipments will be sent to Finland in early July.
