The moment we’ve been waiting for all season has arrived: Veraison is officially here at LucidWild Estate. 🍇✨

Walk through our Dundee Hills single-vineyard estate and you’ll see the transformation in real time. Our Pinot Noir berries are softening, shifting from vibrant summer green to deep, rich purple.

Here’s what’s happening beneath the surface:

The Shift: The berries have finished growing in size and are locking in their natural acidity.

Flavor Development: The vines are now channeling all their energy into accumulating sugars, complex aromatics, and rich phenolic flavor.

The Structure: Because our estate is 100% dry-farmed, 28-year-old vines planted in iconic Jory volcanic soil, this ripening window is where our berries develop their signature depth, elegance, and concentrated structure.

The Timeline: The clock has officially started. We are roughly 30-45 days out from the 2026 harvest, and the energy across the vineyard is electric.

Follow along as we count down to the 2026 Harvest and cheers from all of us at LucidWild Estate! 🍷
