Vintage Conditions:

Good winter and spring rain followed by La Niña weather patterns resulted in a mild and often wet summer. A challenging year with high disease pressure at flowering, hail storms in early January and rain during harvest. The result is small quantities of most varieties and more elegant styles (fresh fruit flavours and slightly lower alcohol).
