Shin Li
We usually start picking Shin Li the first week of October until the end of the month. We leave some on the trees into the winter to freeze to make our Asian Pear Ice Wine.
During harvest season, we are very busy keeping up with local orders. We do pick some Shin Li for storage in our refrigerated cooler. We ship Shinko special order on request. Please contact during October and November for shipping this variety.
