Vintage NotesA wet spring and early summer required careful vineyard management to manage disease pressure. Hot, dry conditions in February and March supported ripening, with a steady flow of fruit keeping both vineyard and winery teams busy. Strong fruit set led to a return to normal yields across the property.
