Down under, grape picking has begun for the 2014 harvest.

The Australian wineries are some of the most active on social media and they’re sharing their journey throughout the harvest with the hashtag #v14.

Here are some photos showing what goes on…

This is as fresh as it comes – free run juice straight from grape to glass… with a bit of pressing in-between at McHenry Hohnen.
