Quality and quantity. That’s the best way we can sum up our feelings about this year’s vintage and the new wines of 2010. Gladly, the near-drought conditions of recent years also returned to normal during the past 12 months, so we look forward to some excellent growing and ripening seasons as we head towards vintage 2011.

There is now plenty of subsoil moisture on the property following our wet spring. September’s good even budburst has the vineyard ideally placed for a favourable fruit set. Fingers crossed for some well-balanced canopies and a perfect crop load over summer.
