Harvest got underway this week under hazy skies in Columbia Valley. Treveri Cellars, a sparkling producer in Yakima Valley, kicked things off, picking 20 tons of Chardonnay from Hilltop Vineyard on the evening of August 11th. The fruit was picked at 19.5 Brix and 3.11pH. Winemaker Christian Grieb reported cluster size was down approximately 15% from historical averages. Treveri also picked 14 tons of estate Chardonnay on August 12th at 17.1 Brix and 3.01pH.
