Vineyard Notes
A tricky season commencing with early bud break and strong growth. A cool, wet November impacted the fruit set, reducing yields. Early summer was hot and dry, but February brought cooler, wet conditions. This was followed by dry, warm days in March, which helped to ripen the reds. Our organic farming
practices had the vineyard in terrific shape to deal with the season’s challenges.
Production Notes
2020: A close to perfect growing season with a warm and dry spring providing excellent conditions for flowering. One of our hottest Decembers on record, advancing fruit development. A slightly milder January was perfect for steady ripening and led to an early red harvest with fruit in exceptional condition with intense colour, concentration and silky, fine, soft tannins.
