Harrow Vineyard Harvest and Wootton Winery, Dorset and Somerset - 5th September 1989

After another year of pruning, rain and sun, it's time for the annual Harrow Vineyard grape harvest. Several tons of Muller Thurgau, Seyval Blanc and a couple of other varieties were driven by Nosher and Mike to Wootton Winery near Shepton Mallett in Somerset, which is then turned in to about 10,000 bottles of crisp English white wine.
