The 2019 growing season experienced a lower-than-average rainfall. With the dry conditions, lack of summer rain, the vineyards relied on supplementary irrigation to get them through to harvest. Combined with some extreme high temperature days, both in late January and February, it was a challenge to keep the fruit in top condition. The result was vineyards with medium canopy`s carrying open bunches of fruit with less weight. The lower yields have resulted in wines with good intense flavour with fine tannins.
