Weather
Conditions in the Vineyard were very good for growing during 2015. We got off to a cracking start with the mild weather in early spring, which encouraged flowering and early growth. Winter was typical with very cool temperatures, regular heavy rainfall and some frost, with some clear sky sunshine days as well. We had our first summer rain early in February, measuring 38mm, and towards the end of the month had another 14mm. Prior to this we hadn’t had any rain since December. During and up to harvest the weather remained quite stable and mild, and we only irrigated over a period of 4 weeks. Harvest went very smoothly and the wines are looking exceptional.
