Duhart-Milon: In 2024, the crossing of the Strait of Magellan
Navigating the Strait of Magellan requires skill, but above all, daring!
Crossed for the first time in 1520 by the man who gave it its name, this maritime passage has always left its mark due to its narrowness and inhospitable currents. This was no insurmountable challenge for Captain Duhart, who set off in 2024 on an east-west crossing, zigzagging between the clouds.
On 2nd September, the crew entered the Strait and began the harvest with our white grapes, in the most easterly of Duhart’s plots. Then it was time to be patient... The red grapes were tasting well, but we had to wait, and once again read the weather forecast with finesse to prepare to cut on the right days. On 24th September, we began harvesting our red grapes from our youngest Merlot plots. We cut, we stopped, we cut, we stopped until 8th October, when we finished with our Montgrand plots, which are the most westerly on the estate.
That’s it, we’ve reached the Pacific!
