“From pre-vintage planning to having the team well trained and operating efficiently, we certainly have no complaints. Harvest is stressful for both winery and grower, so it’s important that the team is absolutely customer-focused and gets on with the job without fuss or bother. They are always willing to work with us, adapting to our last-minute changes and grower requests whilst retaining a positive, can-do attitude. We look forward to working with Josh and the team for many vintages to come.”
