The Madeleine angevine grapes were picked towards the end of October and the Seyval blanc grapes in the first week of November.

The McKinnon family turned out in force, supported by many friends, both from the village and further afield. The grapes were of excellent quality, the Seyval particularly forming classical bunches that benefited from the late harvest. This quality is expected to show in the quality of the wine, which is anticipated to be bottled and ready for sale by September 2001.
