2009/2010 Vintage Report
The warm weather experienced from late February right through into the end of April were ideal conditions to achieve a successful Vintage for both the Whites and Reds.
Picking of our Pinot Gris took place on25th March and the Merlot on 19th April almost a week later than in previous years.
We released our 2009 Botrytis Pinot Gris in January and what a stunning sticky it is right up there with the Gold Medal winning 2004.We also released the 2009 Cabernet Merlot at our Harvest dinner in March.
