Harvest 2026 has wrapped at Pukara Estate. With excellent ripening conditions and a dry autumn across the grove, this season delivered beautiful fruit and exceptional oils.

A smooth harvest and processing season is always the result of careful preparation, experience and attention to detail from the team behind it. Barnea and Leccino were particular standouts this year, and we look forward to sharing the results of another carefully tended season.
