As promised, here is the first harvest update. This one is from Sam Miranda in the King Valley (Victoria):
"We managed to finish all of our whites before that big rain event and they look fantastic, quite bright with great natural acidity.
"Reds are still looking good - they handled the rain but just need some time to regain the flavours and ripen a bit more. Our Pinot Grigio has finished ferment and we will leave on lees for a few months so should be ready to go by August or September.
"Also, we are bottling the 2010 Tempranillo next month, now that it has completed its maturation and oak treatment. We should be ready to release it not long after that."
