Nautilus Estate Vintage 2014 by numbers

We picked 1.9 T of experimental first crop Albarino yesterday from our Renwick vineyard today to formally bring the V2014 harvest to a close (we finished the main harvest last week on the 9th).

A few vintage statistics for you:

• 1639 Tonnes of grapes picked

• 311 grape samples tested

• 65 grape receipts issued (individual parcels of grapes)

• 10,849 baskets of hand pick fruit collected

• 94.5 Km travelled by the machine harvester

• Over 400 cellar instructions issued

• 50 days from fizz to Albarino

• 17 days to pick all the Sauvignon Blanc

• 56 mm of rain has fallen since we finished picking Sauvignon (hence the speed of SB pick)

• 201 vintage meals consumed

• 533 barrels filled

• ??? number of beers consumed (sorry no accurate statistics here)

• 14 weary but very satisfied winery & vineyard staff

Cheers,
