2016 vintage update from winemaker Jane Cooper

 

The vineyard is looking great!  It’s been a cracker season so far with a moderate spring (a few frosts which we fought off well!), not too much rain and then into quite a warm period now in December.

The Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris have just finished flowering and luckily we had a warm spell when this happened, so the new tiny bunches are looking very healthy and even.  Flowering now in the Sauvignon Blanc and we had 28 degrees yesterday!

Crossing our fingers for the second half so we can bring in a delicious vintage.  Merry Christmas to all!
