Shelby keeps a careful eye on the wine press as the School House Pinot moves into the next stage of the winemaking process.

Keys and Sascha led the way,
Twenty harvests deep this May,
While Shelby kept the vintage moving,
Jack kept barrels and bins all grooving.

Janlu’s smile cut through the cold,
Izzy crossed the Tasman, bold!
Guillaume transferred for harvest glory.

That's how the 2026 vintage starts its story...
