Product details
Following two years of drought, the wet winter of 2013 replenished our water reserves. This was fortunate given the very dry summer that was to come. Practically no rain was recorded during June, July and August. However, the vines looked remarkably healthy despite the heat and the lack of water and some well-timed rain arrived on September 5th. These showers provided much needed moisture required by the berries to achieve balanced ripening. The late starting vintage was interrupted almost as soon as it started due to some unsettled weather but fine, sunny conditions followed and the grapes arrived healthy and ripe in the wineries.
