First harvest of winegrape

昨日からリースリングを獲り始めた。
今日は霧雨のなか収穫を続け
とり終わると同時位に本格的な
雨。今は台風のせいで大分強く
降っている。
雨の中ワイナリーに持ち込み
仕込方法の打ち合わせ。

今週はピノノワールを収穫する積もり
だったのが来週に延期。
10日はソーヴィニオン・ブラン、
11日はセミヨン、17日にシャルドネ
という予定まで決めた。この間
巨峰の収穫と出荷も続く。

ワイナリーではこれから瓶詰めする
ワインに一喜一憂。毎回印象が
違うのには慣れたとはいえ…。

I started the harvest of Riesling yesterday.
I continued to pick the grape with helpers
in the drizzling rain which turned to
rain heavily when we finished
the harvest. Now the rain gets harder
due to the Typhoon No.18. I took the
grapes to the winery and discussed
about the fermentation.

Pinot noir was supposed to be picked
this week but I postponed it to
next week. Sauvignon Blanc is scheduled
on 10th followed by Semillon on the
next day and Chardonnay on 17th.
I have to continue to pick Kyoho
grapes during the week, too.

At the winery, I tasted the wines to be
bottled soon and was pleased and/or
disappointed with the taste. I am supposed
to understand the change of imporession
every time but still each tasting makes me
anxious.
