This kind of thing happens more often than you think. Not only do nurseries sometimes mix up vines when they deliver them for planting, there’s been a few cases in the world where growers in an entire region thought many vineyards had planted a certain variety for years, and it turned out it was something different. This row happens to be a newer planted clone and now that fruit is coming online we caught it for the first time and could see the difference at harvest.

Most people don’t think about it, but there’s actual prep that happens before harvesting grapes. The vineyard crew does a pass during the day before the night of harvest. Where they go down the rows that are going to be picked the next morning, and they remove the netting from the grapes and they pull leaves off the plant around the fruiting zone. This exposes the fruit very clearly and enables hands and clippers to get in there easily so that harvest can go much faster when we are picking fruit in the middle of the night.
It’s just another example of how hands-on a small, hand farmed vineyard is. We literally have crews working the vineyard six days a week nearly year-round. It takes a lot of care to grow fantastic grapes that make wonderful w**es.

It’s not just from I Love Lucy, many quality, small batch w**e makers use footstomping as a technique. It gently breaks up the berries and allows the skins to soak with the juice. All of the color is in the skin so in order to get a nice pretty pink rosé w**e we want some skin contact with that juice before pressing. We’re incredibly happy with the flavors of our 2026 Grenache + Mourvèdre Rosé!

We are harvesting our Grenache clone 515 and our Mourvèdre this week to make our rosé. We pick the fruit specifically for Rosé using a row of each variety and leave the other rows to ripen a little bit longer for our red w**es. The fruit is looking great this year, and I think this one’s gonna be delicious!

4 AM harvest sounds a little crazy until you think about the grapes.

By picking our Syrah in the coolest part of the night, the fruit comes off the vine cold and arrives at the w**ery that way too. That helps us preserve freshness and gives a better start to maceration and w**emaking.

Basically, think about grapes sitting on your kitchen counter versus grapes straight from the refrigerator. We know which ones we’d rather eat.

A very early morning, but a beautiful start to our 2026 Syrah. It’s the absolute earliest we’ve ever picked Syrah! Clone 470 and Clone 08 are in!

We poured at Malibu Food & W**e this weekend, and five different people came back to tell us that one of our w**es was their w**e of the night.

For a small w**ery that’s still pretty new to market, that meant a lot.

We love getting to pour the w**es for people who may be tasting Lyons Vineyard for the first time, especially in a crowd full of so many great w**es and producers.

And even better, the event benefited the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu, so it was a fun night for a really worthwhile cause too.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, tasted with us, and came back to say hi.

Skye procured 20 different kinds of fruit trees, planted at the vineyard. We have multiple kinds of peaches, apricots, pomegranates, persimmons, pears, pluots, pluerries, and more I’m sure I’m not remembering. But the one I do remember is figs! I think we have three different kinds of figs and they are getting ripe and tasty.

One of our favorite things is when we get inbound from friends and club members showing us where they’re enjoying Lyons Vineyard w**es. Every time it makes us smile. At a w**e bar, at a concert, after a rough day, on the patio with some barbecue, together with friends, or even just on the kitchen counter with dinner.

keep sending us your moments! It truly makes our day.

Syrah grapes vs Grenache grapes vs Mourvèdre. Not only do they taste different but they look different from each other too.

Harvest check in! So far we have harvested the Viognier and one of our Grenache clones that is in the warmest part of the vineyard. The Syrah has a ways to go!
