Chardonnay Harvest at Ruby Hill Vineyard Estates - Livermore Wine Country, California (Alameda County, CA)

Vineyard Harvest Videos at Ruby Hill Vineyard Estates - Livermore Wine Country, California (Alameda County, CA)

It's harvest time for Chardonnay grapes in California's Livermore Valley Wine Country! Harvesting is typically done during the late night and early morning hours, as maintaining a cool temperature is vital for the grapes...not only while they are sitting in the bins, but also while they are being transported.

Here are a couple of videos of the grapes being harvested, one at night and one in the morning:

This Chardonnay vineyard is expected to produce approximately 6-7 tons per acre and there are about 800 vines per acre. By the time the grapes have been crushed, stored in barrels and bottled, we'll be able to enjoy the wine from last night's and today's harvest in 2011!
