About the Vineyard
Vineyard soils were replenished by a wet winter. From August until mid summer temperatures were below average, with late December rain ideal for the vines to grow their protective canopies. The mild summer weather meant the grapes were able to ripen slowly on the vine, being full of flavor when harvested.
