Vintage 2020…. where does one even begin?
2007 was the earliest vintage we ever did, and we started on 16th Feb. This year we started on 16th Feb picking our chardonnay. Volumes were down again due to dry conditions and this year vintage conditions look like last year.
High temperatures leading into vintage brought on an early season however over the past 10 years you can see summer and winter rains being normal but spring and autumns rains significantly lower.
