A toast. Every harvest is time for reflection. A cycle has come to an end and a new one has already begun. Olive trees always work ahead. While you harvest the fruit, you see next year's crop forming on the little branches. All the varieties and different shades of ripeness, bring flashbacks of the year that has passed. The beautiful blossom and wild herbs; filling the air with an elegant citrus aroma, attracting thousands of bees, buzzing around every day under the warmth of the Greek sun. The rain & the wind, the heavy storms, hard work, worries & anticipation, tending the trees as they fruit. To harvest early and quick, to not compromise at any stage and especially after the picking; and it is at that moment, when the olive juice emerges, you feel peace in your heart. This is a toast to nature and what it is teaching us every day; to be grateful, to stand up, to always stand up after the fall, as nothing comes without sacrifice; and to hope...A toast to you all, the very few who discovered Eliris, who have been waiting patiently and reserving a share of the fresh harvest. We cannot wait to enjoy the new vintage with you. #grateful #freshharvest #resilience #newvintage #naturealwaysgives #bestpickingteam #eliris2016
