Growing Season
A season of two halves with a relatively wet spring coupled with cool conditions through December and January time.
resulting in lower than average crops. January and February were extremely hot and dry with only around 20mm of rain falling from Christmas to harvest
This meant there was a very short time period between veraison and harvest providing clean, ripe and concentrated fruit. The growing season was
the inverse to the 2018 vintage.
