I often say that in coming to the Barossa, I truly learnt to live by the rhythm of the seasons, and Christmastime is no exception. Apricots are the first of the stone fruit to ripen in our orchard. Whilst an early season can mean apricots needing to be picked a week or two before Christmas, the onset of apricot season is usually heralded by Christmas Day itself. Either way, we’re always guaranteed of having at least some fresh apricots ready to enjoy over the festive season. Perfect timing! What fresh fruit do you look forward to most across the festive season?
