English Wine Hits Record Early Harvest | Belfast News

English wine is rewriting history as Nyetimber Vineyards pulls off the earliest harvest ever—September 14th, five days ahead of their last record. Blame the hottest summer since 1884, which helped produce a potential vintage year with enough grapes for 1.5 million bottles. Despite late spring frosts and drought shrinking some berries, the scorching sun balanced things out, thanks to winemaker Cherie Spriggs’ expert hands. With 500 pickers hitting the fields from Sept 21st and daily grape hauls of 170 tonnes, this harvest could be legendary—and weather’s role in crafting it? Absolutely wild.
