Mario Pablo Silva, managing director of Viña Casa Silva's fifth blog on the harvest from Colchagua Valley, Chile
It was all hands on deck last week at Viña Casa Silva as we reached a crucial time in the harvest.
The warm days are back and everything is now reaching maturity. In just a few days we picked all our Viognier at Lolol in what we call the Coastal Shadow. Despite temperatures soaring to around 30°C at midday, the evenings, nights and mornings remain very fresh in Lolol due to the arrival of the sea breezes every afternoon.
This is a key factor enabling the preservation of freshness and acidity in the Viognier, which looks very promising.
Our best Cabernets are now macerating in 500 litre French oak barrels -

Kia Ora from New Zealand and welcome to the first instalment of my Kiwi wine adventure: I have come here from London to harvest grapes at the illustrious Felton Road estate -- one of the world's most southerly vineyards -- in Central Otago on New Zealand's South Island. To make the most of this long journey I decided to come early and taste my way through the various wine regions to give my shamefully Eurocentric palate a real understanding of Kiwi wines and their huge success on the world stage.
