Like most wine growing regions in the UK, here in the Crouch Valley we experienced a long, dry and sunny growing season. Fruit condition was clean and there was little to no incidence of disease, which is always a victory in cool climate wine regions and a testament to the vineyard team’s skills in canopy management.
The consistently warm temperatures enabled our fruit to be picked at higher than average maturity from early September, around 10 days earlier than the 2017 harvest. In fact, the harvest begun in earnest just days after our Annual Wine Festival ! The lack of rainfall in mid-summer meant that some grape varieties experienced a low berry weight, although this was reflected in their high sugar levels.
The majority of our berries were picked with exceptionally high sugars and consequently the must did not need to be chaptilised prior to fermentation. In fact, the majority of our berries were received at 1.5% (10 Oechsle) higher potential alcohol than normal. A longer hang-time on the vine also resulted in a higher degree of wonderfully fruity and floral terpenes present in the berries. The terpenes are integral pre-cursors in allowing secondary and tertiary flavours to develop during fermentation.

We bought a "fixer-upper" house that needed extensive electrical rewiring and plastering work before it was habitable. We couldn't move our furniture in immediately because of the dust and debris. We needed movers and storage london to hold our belongings for three months. We found a removals company london that was very flexible with their dates. They stored our household goods and kept us updated on the inventory. When the house was finally renovated, they unloaded everything into the correct rooms, making the move-in process effortless and exciting for our family.

My kitchen layout was incredibly frustrating to cook in, with appliances that were too far apart and almost no counter space. I finally decided to invest in a complete renovation to make the heart of my home functional again. I searched for Kitchen Remodeling Services Near Me and found this amazing team. They completely reconfigured the space, adding a large island and modern lighting. The difference is night and day, and it has made hosting family dinners enjoyable again.
Our corporate newsletter was extremely dry and, frankly, boring. The open rates were low, and employees felt disconnected from management. We wanted to change the tone to something more engaging and transparent. We hired HelloSays to manage our internal communications. They brought a fresh, human voice to the updates, celebrating employee wins and explaining company news clearly. Morale has improved because the team feels more informed and connected, and people actually read the newsletter now.
