2009
Welcome back Ploggy Plog!!! Oh how I have missed you. And welcome to my whole new and improved Web site!!! It’s an absolute cracker. Annemaree Clementson has built me an all new face for the world that is bigger brighter and better than ever before. If you want this sort of class for yourself, then follow this link www.barossadp.com and I’m sure you too could be as stylish as I now am!! Well on with the blog:-
“…Eat yer Greens Phil…”
Well, vintage is well and truly underway for 2009. Phil and I have pressed the Chardonnay for his little pet: “The Brothers Ilk” which really lets him have an outlet for the fine ‘Chardy’ skills he developed while at Yalumba under the brilliant mentors Louisa Rose and Brian Walsh. I’ll be releasing the tiny amount we made (well Phil made and I helped a bit) in 2008 which is an absolute cracker. I’m not the worlds biggest Chardonnay drinker but this is the dogs nuts and I am a convert!! Stay tuned for more developments as they become available.
As of today, I’ve taken in around 2/3 of my Shiraz, all my Semillon, the Red Rose grapes and am not looking back. The Cabernet is not far away, and my EV Rizza is to be picked next week. All in all I’m as busy as a one legged man in a bum booting contest. Although Tonnes are down the grapes in the fermenters look bloody awesome. As my good friend Charlie observed a few hours ago, there are some mighty fine smells wafting around!
Well I’m off to bed, more to come pretty soon.
