Harvest 2008

At Kirabo Private Cellar the wine really did flow!  It was a great harvest.  The quality of the grapes is exceptionally good this year and that foretell the making of great red wines.   At Kirabo we only make red wines that are wood mature for up to 24 months. This year we are going to experiment with different cultivars and different blending.  But first we tried doing something new.  To dye our hair with the red mulch after pressing the grapes!  It was a big mess, but our hair did have sort of a henna look.  At least it was great fun!  (We did throw the grapes away)
