It has been a busy harvest season here at Bluemont 🍇
Our w**emaking team (and pup 🐶) have been working long days and nights to harvest grapes for our 2026 Vintage throughout the last several weeks! 🍷 Swipe through to see harvest season through the eyes of our w**emaker, James ➡️ And read his full harvest update below:
The yields may be low, but the fruit is beautiful, and we’ll take that as a win. 🍇
Harvest days start early on the mountain, with some pretty spectacular sunrises to keep us company. 🌄 The whites and rosé are finishing up fermentation and will be settling into the cellar before their December bottling.
And, of course, no long harvest day is complete without a little help from the w**ery pup. Adeline has been a trooper through the long hours, keeping the team company and spirits high every step of the way.
The reds are making their way into the cellar, too, which means the 2026 harvest is nearly all in! The Cabernet Franc is in the cellar and starting fermentation today. Just Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Norton are still hanging on the vine, soaking up these final days of September sunshine.☀️
It’s been a smaller crop, but we’re excited about what’s coming out of the cellar. Here’s to the 2026 vintage! 🍇
