Peconic Bay Winery general manager Jim Silver sent this harvest report yesterday:
Harvest of old-vine riesling underway at PBW since 7:30 a.m., and will continue tomorrow (pickers welcome!)
Yields not determined yet (about 2T/ac), brix above 19 degrees. Nearly rot-free, hand sorted in the field by an experienced crew. Very slight desiccation of some grapes.
Top quality vintage similar in style to a blending of 2005, 2009 and 2010.”
